00:00:00The Rock must win this match to earn a title shot at the game.

00:00:05It is a must-win situation for the People's Champion.

00:00:08Got that right.

00:00:09Vincent Shane pacing on the outside.

00:00:12The game and his wife Stephanie on the other side of the ring.

00:00:15Oh, look out!

00:00:16Oh, the Rock!

00:00:17The Rock!

00:00:18Yeah!

00:00:22The Rock has got it!

00:00:24The Rock has got it!

00:00:25The Rock gets his title match!

00:00:27Look out!

00:00:27Let's go on this hand.

00:00:29Oh, the press knocks!

00:00:30Oh, knocks!

00:00:31Go!

00:00:32Man!

00:00:32The Rock just knocked down!

00:00:36And busted open!

00:00:37The Rock won the match!

00:00:38He's losing the war to the McMahon family!

00:00:41Led by the game!

00:00:43The People's Champion!

00:00:44He can't defend himself!

00:00:45Entrain it into the ring!

00:00:47A helpless Rock!

00:00:48In pedigree by the game!

00:00:50The Rock is a bloody mess!

00:00:52Rock, you want to be in this game?

00:00:54I am your worst nightmare!

00:00:56What kind of human beings are you to do this to The Rock?

00:00:59And wait a minute!

00:01:00Does he have the lights?

00:01:02He is!

00:01:03Welcome to the game in the game!

00:01:05It's sweet revenge from Vince McMahon!

00:01:07Oh, look at The Rock!

00:01:08He is bleeding profusely!

00:01:09The Rock is hurt badly!

00:01:11The big beings that fight the game

00:01:14have done the damage to the People's Champion!

00:01:17The Rock has been marked for life by The Game!

00:01:20The War has just begun!

00:01:23The Rock!

00:01:25The Rock!

00:01:37The Rock!

00:01:39Let's go.

00:02:10The Rock will get a WWF title shot, but at one cost.

00:02:16Welcome to WWF Smackdown.

00:02:18From the sold-out Ice Palace in Tampa, Florida, Michael Cole, Jerry the King Lawler at ringside.

00:02:34It may be the biggest Smackdown we've ever had.

00:02:38It's certainly King, emotionally charged.

00:02:41The Rock is scheduled to be in Tampa tonight.

00:02:44Well, I understand he's supposed to be here, Michael, but after the condition he was in the last time I

00:02:49saw him on Monday, I don't know how he can make it.

00:02:54The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation European Championship.

00:03:02Shooter's take first, the challenger, weighing in at 424 pounds, Rikishi Batu.

00:03:10A tremendous opportunity for Rikishi Batu as we kick off Smackdown European title is on the line.

00:03:17And King on Raw this past Monday night, the McMahon family sending a clear message to the People's Champion, The

00:03:23Rock.

00:03:24As I said, it was sweet revenge for Vince McMahon.

00:03:26Oh, hey, Mamacita!

00:03:31I think we're about to experience a little bit of Latino Heat!

00:03:35And his opponent, being accompanied to the rank by the ninth wonder of the world, China, he weighs in at

00:03:42225 pounds.

00:03:44He's the World Wrestling Federation European Champion, Eddie Guerrero!

00:03:51Hey, check it out, Michael!

00:03:53Latino Heat is presenting China with some, oh, a whole bouquet of flowers!

00:03:59What a gentleman!

00:03:59You know, as a true European Champion from Europe, of course, it would be a disgrace to this prestigious belt

00:04:16if it were to fall in the hands of an islander from Samoa.

00:04:23I mean, where the hell is Samoa anyway?

00:04:27It's a long way from here!

00:04:28Do you know?

00:04:30I mean, does anybody know?

00:04:33I don't think you can get that one here.

00:04:34But don't you worry, Mamacita!

00:04:37He may be, have the biggest ass in the world, but I have the biggest supply of Latino Heat in

00:04:50the world!

00:04:51Uh-oh!

00:04:52Look at China!

00:04:54She's falling for the Latino Heat!

00:04:56So Eddie Guerrero's set to kick us off, European title on the line against Rikishi Fatu, and what a night

00:05:01it's gonna be on SmackDown, King!

00:05:03Also scheduled this evening, X-Pac goes one-on-one with Y2J, Chris Jericho!

00:05:08Oh-ho, what a match that's gonna be!

00:05:10Other Radicals in action as well, listen to this matchup, Chris Benoit, Dean Malenko to take on the Hardy Boys,

00:05:15and as we mentioned, The Rock is scheduled to be here tonight in Tampa!

00:05:20Look at it!

00:05:22Hey, wait a minute!

00:05:23Hey, wait a minute!

00:05:24Hey, wait a minute!

00:05:25Hey, wait a minute!

00:05:25He's sold out crowd at the Ice Palace all over the European champion, Eddie Guerrero.

00:05:30Guerrero, of course, came talking about his Castilian heritage.

00:05:34You know, Pancho Villa, Don Quixote, and of course, Eddie.

00:05:37Right, Eddie Guerrero, and he's related to just all sorts of famous people.

00:05:43He can't afford to let him down the nose.

00:05:45So Rikishi had well over 400 pounds, and Eddie with a cheap right hand to the side of the head

00:05:51of Rikishi, and here we go, European Championship on the line, on what may be one of the most explosive

00:05:57SmackDowns ever.

00:05:58And Rikishi with a big right hand to Eddie Guerrero, backing him against the ropes.

00:06:03Rikishi Fatu, power by Rikishi, and Eddie Guerrero landing on that wrist, and look at Rikishi Fatu.

00:06:12Slam cover on Guerrero, could have a new champion, quickly, and a kickout before a count of three by Eddie

00:06:17Guerrero.

00:06:18What type of mood, King, is The Rock going to be in here tonight on SmackDown?

00:06:25I'm still wondering if you say he's scheduled to be here, right?

00:06:28Right.

00:06:28Have you seen him arrive yet?

00:06:30Look out, the referee's down the road.

00:06:32And Rikishi Fatu's got Eddie Guerrero down as well.

00:06:35Look at this!

00:06:36Oh, look out!

00:06:37China!

00:06:37Oh, and the flowers to the face of Rikishi Fatu, knocking him off the top rope.

00:06:43She just broke that glass face right over the head of Rikishi!

00:06:48Rikishi Fatu, knocked down by China.

00:06:50Referee Mike Chioda down as well.

00:06:52Here's the cover by Eddie Guerrero.

00:06:54That is sacrificed for Peter McFlower!

00:06:56Here's the count, there's two, and Rikishi gets his shoulder up before the count of three.

00:07:03And Eddie Guerrero can't believe it.

00:07:05He thought he had to...

00:07:05This match won!

00:07:07I thought he had a one-two!

00:07:09I thought he was fixing to head back with China to experience some more Latino heat!

00:07:13Guerrero hammering away on Rikishi Fatu.

00:07:16The big right hand to the back of the well over 400-pound Rikishi.

00:07:21Rikishi knew his feet.

00:07:23Uh-oh.

00:07:23Look out!

00:07:24Guerrero knocking Rikishi through the ropes and outside the ring.

00:07:28Look at the size of that run.

00:07:29And China with a clothesline!

00:07:31And Rikishi down!

00:07:33Wow!

00:07:33What about the power of China?

00:07:35The ninth wonder of the world, China flooring Rikishi outside the ring with a big clothesline.

00:07:41And what kind of force was behind that clothesline?

00:07:44Rikishi weighs 424 pounds, and China's...

00:07:48She's done it for a flip!

00:07:50Eddie Guerrero up over the top into Rikishi.

00:07:52European champion in control.

00:07:54Here's a cover.

00:07:54There's two!

00:07:55And a kickout with authority!

00:07:57The European champion tossed through the second rope!

00:08:01Did he get cut?

00:08:02There's glass down there!

00:08:03And Mamacita with a little tender-loving care for the European champion outside the ring.

00:08:07Up him out, Mamacita!

00:08:10Rikishi!

00:08:11Rikishi!

00:08:13Rikishi!

00:08:13All these people!

00:08:14Just around!

00:08:26Rikishi!

00:08:26Big man down!

00:08:27Get him off his feet!

00:08:28That's his only hope!

00:08:29European title on the line as we kick off SmackDown!

00:08:33Guerrero!

00:08:35Big back body drop by Rikishi Fatu!

00:08:39And a double-and drop!

00:08:40And the European champion's reeling!

00:08:42He's in big trouble now!

00:08:44Rikishi building momentum.

00:08:46The end may be near, King.

00:08:48The European champion in danger of losing his title.

00:08:51The fans all throughout Europe are worried to death right now!

00:08:53Eddie whipped into the corner.

00:08:54Oh, no, please!

00:08:56Rikishi bringing the sellout crowd to his feet!

00:08:59That huge flubberbutt is heading right for Eddie!

00:09:02Over 400 pounds into the European champion in the corner.

00:09:05Uh-oh.

00:09:06Oh, no.

00:09:07The 300 on that 400 pounds on those butt cheeks!

00:09:12Rikishi's steady up.

00:09:13Eddie whipped, look out!

00:09:15Look out, King, from behind.

00:09:17It's China.

00:09:17And Rikishi caught her!

00:09:18Oh, no!

00:09:19And the end may be near for China.

00:09:21She wasn't gonna do anything.

00:09:23She didn't mean to be in there.

00:09:24And Eddie threw her with a broken behind.

00:09:27And Rikishi landed on China in the corner.

00:09:30Kick to the face!

00:09:32Oh, look out!

00:09:33Wait a minute!

00:09:34It could be killed!

00:09:35Nothing!

00:09:37Not stick face!

00:09:38Not China!

00:09:38Oh, no!

00:09:40Rikishi with a stick face to China.

00:09:42Oh, no!

00:09:44Oh!

00:09:45China getting a big face full of Rikishi's backside.

00:09:49Wait, I think something came out of...

00:09:50Oh, my God!

00:09:52And he'll never be able to get those lifts again!

00:09:54And Rikishi's setting him up for the Rikishi driver!

00:09:56Could be it!

00:09:57And China with a low blow!

00:09:58To Rikishi!

00:09:59And the referee calls for the bell!

00:10:01What?

00:10:03You mean...

00:10:04China gets disqualified for that?

00:10:06The winner of this mentor is all of a disqualification...

00:10:10Rikishi 5-2!

00:10:13Once again, King China has saved the European title for Eddie Guerrero!

00:10:17Yeah, but where's the justice?

00:10:18I mean, if the disqualification was in order,

00:10:21it should have been for...

00:10:21That huge 400-pound butt being in the face of China!

00:10:25Well, King China's a bit upset that Eddie didn't, uh...

00:10:28Didn't prevent the stick face in the hands of Rikishi!

00:10:30Hey, hey!

00:10:31Hey, hey!

00:10:31Sorry!

00:10:32It was like an evening.

00:10:33Was that great Monday night?

00:10:35Yeah, that was the most fun of all time.

00:10:38You're pretty good, aren't you?

00:10:39Yeah, I mean...

00:10:39And what?

00:10:40You think we could have enough fun tonight?

00:10:41You think we could have more fun than we did last Monday night with The Rock?

00:10:43We could definitely have more fun.

00:10:45I mean, if The Rock's involved...

00:10:46Matter of fact, if anybody gets in our way...

00:10:48Anybody.

00:10:49Let's just do more of the same.

00:10:50Well, goody-back's not here tonight, but you know what?

00:10:52Let's go out and have even more fun than we did last Monday night.

00:10:55Let's make Dad proud.

00:10:56Let's go do that!

00:11:02Outside the Ice Palace in Tampa, King!

00:11:05Hey, look, Rock!

00:11:06The People's Champion's here!

00:11:08He is here!

00:11:12But what kind of shape is The Rock in tonight on SmackDown?

00:11:17The Rock is new.

00:11:18I'll tell you what.

00:11:19Let's let the games begin.

00:11:21Nice forehead.

00:11:22Nice forehead.

00:11:23The games begin tonight!

00:11:26Uh-oh!

00:11:26Oh, boy!

00:11:28Yo, give me a hit, me with that trippin' eights.

00:11:31Ha!

00:11:32Ha!

00:11:41Well, King, it's the McMahon-Helsley faction.

00:11:44Triple H, Stephanie McMahon-Helsley, and Shane.

00:11:47And we heard that Mr. McMahon is not here tonight on SmackDown.

00:11:52Well, you know what that means.

00:11:53You're looking at the folks who are in charge tonight.

00:11:56And Triple H, as he watched the arrival of The Rock just moments ago, he's saying, let the games begin.

00:12:03Yeah, the game!

00:12:04Triple H, the McMahon's only responsible for busting The Rock's wide open on Raw.

00:12:09Ladies and gentlemen, making their way to the ring, Shane McMahon, the World Wrestling Federation Women's Champion,

00:12:16Stephanie McMahon-Helsley, and the World Wrestling Federation Champion, Triple H!

00:12:23So you gotta admit, we didn't get too good to look at The Rock.

00:12:27I mean, his face has obviously been figured.

00:12:29It's gotta be started.

00:12:31It could be awful.

00:12:31He may have to start wearing a mask like Kane or something like that.

00:12:34Well, Triple H with the brass knuckles on Raw Monday night, busting The Rock wide open,

00:12:38solely responsible for that attack.

00:12:41As the McMahon family king clearly was sending a message to The Rock.

00:12:45How many stitches did The Rock ever have?

00:12:47He had a number of stitches in his forehead, courtesy of that man, Triple H.

00:12:52And we now know that Triple H will have to defend the World Wrestling Federation Championship against The Rock.

00:13:00Well, when's that gonna be?

00:13:01We don't know yet.

00:13:02Where?

00:13:02I guess it's up to the game.

00:13:03It's up to the McMahon-Helsley faction.

00:13:05You mean there's something you don't know?

00:13:06Yeah, of course.

00:13:07Of course, they are with their hidden homes.

00:13:08But Triple H saying, let the games begin.

00:13:12And who knows what the McMahon-Helsley faction could have in store for The Rock here tonight on SmackDown.

00:13:18Well, all I know is that The Rock is here.

00:13:21And things could explode any moment.

00:13:23Ooh, how good does Stephanie look?

00:13:27You gotta be like the best-looking WWF Women's Champion ever.

00:13:34Uh-oh.

00:13:41Proud all over the McMahon-Helsley faction.

00:13:46This is very rude.

00:13:47Let's all go back in your minds to last Monday night on Raw.

00:13:51Man, that was awesome.

00:13:53I mean, absolutely fantastic.

00:13:56Chase fired up.

00:13:58It was a joyous occasion.

00:14:01Now, Triple H, you said you were gonna turn it up a notch.

00:14:04And, oh, man, did you ever turn it up a notch?

00:14:07I mean, I had no idea what you were talking about.

00:14:10But then all of a sudden, wham, wham, wham.

00:14:14The People's Champion is laying at our feet.

00:14:19Wasn't he ever?

00:14:21A bloody mess.

00:14:26And there's The Rock.

00:14:28Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky, Rocky.

00:14:33The Rock is here, King.

00:14:35We saw him arrive moments ago.

00:14:37And JR said he was scarred for life.

00:14:39No, that's the exact same chant.

00:14:41They were chanting at The Rock when he was lying here at our feet right here in this very ring.

00:14:48With the lifeblood of the people oozing from The Rock's skull onto the mat.

00:14:58And, oh, man, that was quite a sight.

00:15:02Oh, pretty gruesome.

00:15:03Absolutely brutal.

00:15:05I think Shane liked it.

00:15:07Triple H, I have to tell you, that was such a proud moment for me.

00:15:12I mean, to really be there up so close to actually feel that.

00:15:17Triple H, I gotta give you big, huge props on this one.

00:15:19I am proud that you were the World Wrestling Federation Champion.

00:15:28You know, The Rock tried to play the game, but it was obviously, for him, game over.

00:15:34Uh-oh.

00:15:35And Triple H, one last thing.

00:15:40Not only am I proud that you're the World Wrestling Federation Champion, but I am proud that you are my

00:15:51brother-in-law.

00:15:51Oh, man.

00:15:54Now, this is a hallmark moment.

00:15:56Look at this.

00:15:57A hallmark moment, please.

00:15:59It is good to see.

00:16:00Josh, you know, you guys, you get me so choked up.

00:16:08I'd love to see Stephanie smile.

00:16:10It just radiates throughout this entire arena.

00:16:14I mean, you're going to make me cry.

00:16:18You know how emotional I am.

00:16:20I'm just like Dad.

00:16:23Aw.

00:16:25And you know, I know that Dad's at home watching this right now.

00:16:29And Dad, I know that you wanted to keep this as a surprise, but I can't help it.

00:16:37What?

00:16:38What's this?

00:16:39Hunter, when you face The Rock for the World Wrestling Federation Championship...

00:16:47Let this family enjoy their moment.

00:16:51It only took a quarter or two of Rock's blood to bring this family together like this.

00:16:55My father, Vince, is going to be in your corner.

00:17:00Oh, what about that?

00:17:02Your corner.

00:17:04Mr. McMahon in the corner of Triple H when he defends the title against The Rock.

00:17:14Vince is personally going to be in my corner.

00:17:20I'm flattered.

00:17:22Really, I'm honored that he would do that.

00:17:27But I know how your dad is.

00:17:31All due respect, he's a little bit of a...

00:17:33Just a little bit of a glory hound.

00:17:36Oh, Vince?

00:17:36Oh, we all are.

00:17:38I don't want Vince to go out there thinking he's going to steal my thunder.

00:17:42Now, this is between me and The Rock.

00:17:45I want to do this myself.

00:17:48Vince can be in my corner and have a front row seat as I destroy The Rock's dreams once and

00:17:54for all.

00:17:58Rock, Monday night, I gave you a little lesson about what it takes to be a real champion like myself,

00:18:10to be the World Wrestling Federation champion, to be the best.

00:18:16Not just to talk about it, but to be the best.

00:18:25Rock, it takes a lot of sweat.

00:18:28It takes a lot of tears.

00:18:31And Rock, Monday night, I showed you firsthand in this very ring, it takes a whole lot of your blood.

00:18:42You know, Rock, listen, he could come out here at any moment.

00:18:44He's rude that way.

00:18:45He could just bust right out here.

00:18:47Now, Rock, you keep coming back, I'll keep teaching you that same lesson.

00:18:59Rock, if it takes me a million times, I will teach you that lesson over and over.

00:19:06But Rock, it does not matter how much sweat comes from your body, how many tears you cry.

00:19:15It does not matter how much of the people's blood pumps from your body.

00:19:23It will be all for nothing.

00:19:26Because, Rock, you will never be the World Wrestling Federation champion.

00:19:36Because, Rock, you will never beat me.

00:19:47There's a statement for you.

00:19:48A statement as well from Triple H.

00:19:51Now, you know, if you smile...

00:19:53Oh, look at him!

00:19:54What a game!

00:19:55What a game!

00:19:57He's the people's champ, The Rock!

00:20:00Capacity crowd on his feet at the Ice Palace in Tampa!

00:20:05Oh, look at his head!

00:20:06His forehead bandaged a number of stitches at the hand of Triple H on Raw Monday night!

00:20:13And imagine what's going through the Rock's mind right now, King!

00:20:19He's got to be seething inside!

00:20:22Probably some of that cat got string that they'd make stitches out of.

00:20:25Going all through his head.

00:20:26Hold on, Rock!

00:20:36I know you're out here in front of your home state, Rock!

00:20:41I know you're out here.

00:20:45I know you're out here to talk about your chance at becoming the World Wrestling Federation champ.

00:20:50I've thought long and hard about this, Rock.

00:20:53When and where you should get your shot.

00:20:57I've thought about it.

00:20:59I've thought, hell,

00:21:01maybe right here in your home state of Florida would be a hell of a place.

00:21:05That would be a hell of a place.

00:21:07Tonight?

00:21:08Yes!

00:21:12But you know what?

00:21:15Then I thought, nah, that's a pretty big match.

00:21:19We should probably do it someplace important.

00:21:22Uh-oh.

00:21:23So why don't we make it Washington, D.C.

00:21:28Uh-oh.

00:21:29And see what kind of backlash we get from that.

00:21:32The nation's capital?

00:21:34Site of backlash.

00:21:37In less than three weeks.

00:21:40Uh-oh.

00:21:41Here we go.

00:21:52Now The Rock says

00:21:57That Triple H, Monday night, you did it all to The Rock.

00:22:02Yes, you beat The Rock's ass.

00:22:05Yes, you left The Rock laying in a pool of his own blood.

00:22:08And yes, The Rock could hardly stand.

00:22:12But make no mistake about it, Triple H.

00:22:14Just as sure as you stand there surrounded

00:22:17by a silver spoon, jackass.

00:22:19Uh-oh.

00:22:21I'm ashamed.

00:22:25And by a bargain basement.

00:22:28No, no!

00:22:30Not Stephanie!

00:22:34Triple H's wife.

00:22:36Is as sure as Monday night

00:22:38The Rock still walked out

00:22:40with his shot

00:22:41at your WWF title.

00:22:45You did that all right, Michael.

00:22:46You got the shot coming.

00:22:49And the three of you

00:22:50candy-ass jabronis

00:22:51stand in the ring,

00:22:52run your mouth,

00:22:53gloat

00:22:54about how you got Vince McMahon

00:22:55in your corner.

00:22:56Well, The Rock says

00:22:57Bring it.

00:22:58The Rock says

00:22:59Bring on Vince McMahon.

00:23:00And seeing as we're going to be

00:23:02in the nation's capital,

00:23:03The Rock says

00:23:03Bring on the Congress.

00:23:05Bring on the Senate.

00:23:06Bring the Vice President.

00:23:07Hold it!

00:23:07Bring the President himself.

00:23:09Dig up George Washington's

00:23:10that candy-ass

00:23:11and bring him too.

00:23:13What?

00:23:14The Rock's got your snap!

00:23:17He's calling

00:23:17President candy-ass?

00:23:19Because The Rock says

00:23:21there ain't nobody.

00:23:23And The Rock means

00:23:25nobody

00:23:26that's going to stop The Rock

00:23:27from whipping your candy-ass.

00:23:29Oh, no!

00:23:35Rock, for a guy

00:23:36that unloaded

00:23:37half his blood

00:23:38Monday night,

00:23:39you seem full of yourself.

00:23:41I mean, I'm looking

00:23:42at you standing up there.

00:23:44Hell, you can't be

00:23:46but, what,

00:23:48at 70% of your best?

00:23:51Maybe 60%?

00:23:53I'd say it.

00:23:54You look a little flat.

00:23:55Your shirt's a little bit baggy.

00:23:58I'll tell you, Rock.

00:24:00It doesn't really matter

00:24:01what percent you're at.

00:24:04I don't even care

00:24:05if you're 100%

00:24:06because tonight,

00:24:08in this ring,

00:24:09it's going to be you

00:24:10and me.

00:24:12What?

00:24:13Tonight?

00:24:14A smackdown?

00:24:17What happened

00:24:18to the nation's capital?

00:24:19Washington, D.C.?

00:24:20Nah.

00:24:22Now, before you get

00:24:23your little panties

00:24:23and a bunch

00:24:24and your eyebrows

00:24:24starts going up and down,

00:24:26it's not for the

00:24:28World Wrestling

00:24:28Federation Championship.

00:24:30It's not

00:24:33for my

00:24:34World Wrestling

00:24:35Federation Championship.

00:24:37What I want you

00:24:38to do, Rock,

00:24:39I want you to go

00:24:40in the back

00:24:40and I want you

00:24:42to round up

00:24:42your newfound

00:24:43little buddies,

00:24:44the Acolytes.

00:24:46Uh-oh.

00:24:46And I want you

00:24:47to bring them

00:24:47to the ring with you.

00:24:50And then I'm going

00:24:51to bring Bull Buchanan

00:24:52and I'm going

00:24:53to bring the Boss Man.

00:24:54Uh-oh.

00:24:55And we're going

00:24:56to get this deal done.

00:24:58Oh, boy.

00:24:59This could get

00:25:00really ugly.

00:25:01So let The Rock

00:25:01understand this.

00:25:02You do what you did

00:25:03to The Rock

00:25:04on Monday night.

00:25:05You come out here

00:25:05and you run your mouth

00:25:06and you say nothing

00:25:07on The Rock's show,

00:25:08Smackdown,

00:25:09and then on top

00:25:10of all that,

00:25:11this, this match,

00:25:12this is your

00:25:14grandmaster plan,

00:25:15this is the master

00:25:16scheme,

00:25:16this is the best

00:25:17you can come up with.

00:25:19What's wrong with that?

00:25:20Pretty good scheme.

00:25:21Well, good plan.

00:25:23I'll tell you what, Rock.

00:25:23It doesn't matter

00:25:24if it's the best

00:25:25you come up with.

00:25:28It doesn't matter.

00:25:33You see, Triple H,

00:25:34The Rock says,

00:25:35it just doesn't matter

00:25:37because come Backlash,

00:25:38The Rock guarantees.

00:25:40No, he promises.

00:25:42No, The Rock promises

00:25:44the people.

00:25:45Uh-oh.

00:25:51That The Rock,

00:25:52the most electrifying man

00:25:54in sports entertainment,

00:25:56the great one,

00:25:56is gonna whip your candy ass,

00:25:58walk out the WWF champion,

00:26:01if you smell

00:26:04what The Rock

00:26:05is cooking.

00:26:07The Rock gets

00:26:08Triple H in Backlash,

00:26:10but tonight,

00:26:10King and King

00:26:11through the Acolytes

00:26:12to take on the boss man,

00:26:14Bull Buchanan,

00:26:15and Triple H.

00:26:16Oh, what a battle

00:26:16that's gonna be.

00:26:17You're right.

00:26:18This could be one of the most

00:26:19explosive Smackdowns ever,

00:26:21Michael.

00:26:21Let the games begin

00:26:22on Smackdown.

00:26:25Tonight on Smackdown,

00:26:27The Rock finally gets

00:26:28Triple H back in the ring.

00:26:30Oh, man.

00:26:30A huge six-man tag team

00:26:32matchup here tonight.

00:26:33Yeah, but Michael,

00:26:34what about took place?

00:26:36What took place earlier today

00:26:37with Al Snow

00:26:38and Steve Blackman

00:26:39at the nursing home?

00:26:40I couldn't believe it.

00:26:41Oh, man.

00:26:42This is ridiculous.

00:26:44It's not ridiculous, Steve.

00:26:45We talked about it

00:26:46on the way over in the car.

00:26:47These senior citizens

00:26:48are going to love you, man.

00:26:49Let me get this straight.

00:26:50A few handshakes,

00:26:51a few autographs and pictures,

00:26:52and we're out of here.

00:26:53Well, not exactly.

00:26:55What do you mean,

00:26:56not exactly?

00:26:58And now,

00:26:58Shady Pumps Retirement Home

00:27:00is proud to present

00:27:01the comedy stylings

00:27:03of Steve Blackman.

00:27:05What the hell is this?

00:27:07I wrote you some material.

00:27:09Knock him dead.

00:27:10Not literally.

00:27:10We don't want any more trouble

00:27:11like we had in the past.

00:27:12Come on, people.

00:27:13Give it up for you.

00:27:14Michael, whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo.

00:27:15There's no one under 80

00:27:16in that room.

00:27:17I've got a new stand-up comedy.

00:27:21The comedy stylings

00:27:22of Steve Blackman.

00:27:23Oh, this is going to be great.

00:27:25And this is going to be great.

00:27:27What a tag team matchup.

00:27:28Party Boy set to take

00:27:29on the Radicals.

00:27:31Everything's got to stay tuned

00:27:32for Blackman

00:27:33doing stand-up comedy

00:27:34with those old bosses.

00:27:36The tag team comes

00:27:36into the schedule

00:27:37for football.

00:27:39Making their weight of the ring

00:27:40of Cameron, North Carolina.

00:27:42And a combined weight

00:27:43of 430 pounds.

00:27:46And Jeff the Party Boy.

00:27:49And just a reminder,

00:27:50big WWF live action

00:28:02and Fort Lauderdale.

00:28:04And here come the Radicals.

00:28:13of the World Wrestling Federation.

00:28:19Like heavyweight champion,

00:28:20Dean Malenko.

00:28:21And the eight-time

00:28:22national champion,

00:28:24Chris Vanquan.

00:28:26Well, you're right, the Hardys would love to get their hands on the Tag Team Championships,

00:28:30but tonight they're facing individual champions.

00:28:33That's right, Chris Benrod being the Charmaine O'Title holder and Dean Malenko,

00:28:37the WWF The Light Heavyweight Champion.

00:28:39I'll tell you, King, this is going to be one heck of a matchup here on SmackDown.

00:28:43But what about the news we heard earlier on tonight?

00:28:46Triple H setting the match.

00:28:48The Rock will finally get Triple H back in the ring and that huge six-man tag team battle.

00:28:52It's going to be something.

00:28:53This match, this match should be great.

00:28:55Malenko whipped into the rope by Matt Hardy.

00:28:57Nice takedown by Matt Hardy.

00:28:59Go check it out.

00:29:00You know, the Radicals, since coming to the WWF, they've really garnered the gold.

00:29:03I mean, let's face it.

00:29:05Look, Malenko is, well, he's the Light Heavyweight Champion.

00:29:08Chris Benrod, the Intercontinental Champion.

00:29:10Eddie Guerrero, the European Champion.

00:29:12The only one that's not a champion is Perry Saturn.

00:29:14And he's got to be a chance to be the champion tonight.

00:29:16That's right.

00:29:16Perry Saturn takes on Crash Holly a little bit later on with a hardcore title on the line.

00:29:21All four Radicals could have titles when we leave SmackDown.

00:29:24Tonight.

00:29:25All two Radicals in the ring now.

00:29:27Malenko and Benoit.

00:29:28Look out.

00:29:28Oh, Matt Hardy in trouble.

00:29:29Nice suplex by Chris Benoit.

00:29:31Look at who?

00:29:32The Canadian Crippler going to work on Matt Hardy.

00:29:36Speaking of going to work, I can't wait to see what's going to happen tonight.

00:29:39Oh, I can't believe that Triple H has the nerve to get back into the ring with The Rock tonight.

00:29:45After, well, after what he did to The Rock Monday night.

00:29:48Do you know what kind of mood The Rock is in?

00:29:50Well, King, I have to agree with you.

00:29:52It's damn gutsy on the part of Triple H to make this matchup.

00:29:56That's the kind of guy, that's the kind of champion he is.

00:29:58He's the game.

00:29:59It's also a risky proposition for The Rock as well.

00:30:01He can't be 100%, King.

00:30:04Oh, you got that right.

00:30:05But The Rock has heart.

00:30:06He lost a lot of blood on Raw Monday night.

00:30:08Required stitches to the forehead at the hands of Triple H.

00:30:11Look at that, look at that mat of the ring.

00:30:12They had to get a new mat cover for that very ring

00:30:16because the other one was so saturated with The Rock's blood.

00:30:20It could never be used again.

00:30:21Here's the double team by The Hardy Boys on Chris Benoit.

00:30:23Double elbow in the maneuvers by The Hardy Boys.

00:30:27You're right, King.

00:30:27The Rock has a tremendous amount of heart.

00:30:31He's going to need it tonight.

00:30:32Look out.

00:30:33Matt Hardy.

00:30:34Oh, man!

00:30:35Out of the sternum of Dean Malenko and The Hardy Boys masters at The Double Team.

00:30:43Four young guns here in the World Wrestling Federation going at it

00:30:46in a tremendous matchup on SmackDown.

00:30:48Wait a minute.

00:30:48When you say The Hardleys are...

00:30:50The Hardys.

00:30:51When you say they're the masters of The Double Team,

00:30:53does that mean they're cheaters?

00:30:54No.

00:30:54They're supposed to be Double Team.

00:30:55They got a five count to get out of the ring.

00:30:57And let's see Malenko.

00:30:58Speaking of Double Team, off the top rope.

00:31:01Here's the cover.

00:31:02Referee, though, was dealing with Matt Hardy

00:31:05and Malenko with a right hand to Matt Hardy, brother Jeff.

00:31:10I'll tell you, King, The Rock, he's got to have a lot of heart.

00:31:13I mean, just to get into the ring with Triple H,

00:31:15but he'll do anything to get back into the ring with the game.

00:31:18I realize that.

00:31:19The average athlete would probably still be in the hospital.

00:31:22Oh, and granted, The Rock has got a lot of heart,

00:31:24and he just don't have a lot of blood to pump through that heart.

00:31:28Chris Benoit working on Jeff Hardy, middle of the ring.

00:31:32Mr. McMahon is not here this evening.

00:31:34Where is Benoit?

00:31:35Benoit?

00:31:35Taking the night off.

00:31:37McMahon-Helmsley faction flexing their muscles, though,

00:31:39setting up that big six-man tag team matchup.

00:31:42Benoit, leg across the back of the neck of Jeff Hardy.

00:31:46Did you say he's taking...

00:31:47Listen, Mr. McMahon never takes the night off.

00:31:49He's got a huge, multi-billion-dollar corporation to run.

00:31:52He never takes the night off.

00:31:54Benoit cover now, hooking the leg on Jeff Hardy.

00:31:56There's two in a kick-out.

00:31:57Maybe he's home counting his money or something.

00:31:58Looking over the books.

00:31:59Boy, you are...

00:32:00He's probably listening, you know.

00:32:02And Dean Malenko tagging from Chris Benoit.

00:32:05Radical's doing a great job isolating Jeff Hardy

00:32:07from his brother Matt in the opposite corner.

00:32:10What about that dressing room

00:32:12that the upbound McMahon-Helmsley faction has?

00:32:15You see that in there?

00:32:15All the luxurious furniture and the nice...

00:32:18We should have a dressing room like that.

00:32:20You can peel me a grape or something.

00:32:21Yeah, that'll happen.

00:32:23Malenko works to the corner.

00:32:24Here comes Chris Benoit.

00:32:25And I tell you, Benoit and Malenko are doing a great job

00:32:27coming together in this match-up.

00:32:29As we mentioned earlier, both individual champions.

00:32:32Benoit, Intercontinental title holder.

00:32:34Malenko, the light heavyweight title holder.

00:32:36No, I really am.

00:32:38Ever since they turned on Mick Foley, I've liked this guy.

00:32:41Just for a job, just to get into the World Wrestling Federation,

00:32:44they turned their back on their friend, Mick Foley.

00:32:47I think it was something more personal than that.

00:32:49Canadian Cripplers from Mendes Athlete.

00:32:51Elbow to the face of Jeff Hardy.

00:32:53Here's a cover, hook to the leg.

00:32:55There's one, there's two, and a kick out before the count of three by Jeff Hardy.

00:32:59I don't know if that was before the count of three.

00:33:00I know it was a little slow count on the part of Tim White up there, or Dem White, whatever

00:33:04he is.

00:33:05You know, if Dean Malenko and Chris Benoit can pull off a big win here,

00:33:07puts them near the top of the tag team division kink,

00:33:10they can go after the tag team goals as well.

00:33:13Great double team by Benoit and Malenko.

00:33:15Did you see that kick right to the face of Jeff Hardy?

00:33:17Baseball slide following the drop toehold from Benoit.

00:33:21And Malenko in control of Jeff Hardy.

00:33:24Tell you what's going to be a great matchup later on tonight here on SmackDown.

00:33:28X-Pac goes one-on-one with Y2J Chris Jericho.

00:33:30I'm looking forward to that.

00:33:32I can't wait until at least somebody shut Jericho up once and all.

00:33:35And the Big Show's here tonight as well.

00:33:37The Big Show?

00:33:37Yeah, the Big Show.

00:33:39Is he himself tonight or what?

00:33:41He's gone Hollywood, you know.

00:33:42It's going to be fun to watch.

00:33:44Chopped to the chest by Benoit.

00:33:45Jeff Hardy whipped into the corner.

00:33:46And Chris Benoit is picking apart Jeff Hardy.

00:33:52Oh, boy.

00:33:53Hardy up there in the high-rent district, top rope.

00:33:56And Benoit setting Jeff Hardy up.

00:33:59You know you can enjoy this trip, but the landing's kind of rough.

00:34:02Oh, bam!

00:34:05Did you see that?

00:34:05Jeff Hardy countered in midair.

00:34:07And can he make him tag to his brother, Matt?

00:34:10I think he partially countered.

00:34:12Well, King Benoit needs to make a tag to Malenko as well.

00:34:18And here's the tag to Malenko and the tag to Matt Hardy.

00:34:21And Matt Hardy in the ring, knocking Malenko down with the right hand.

00:34:25And there's another one.

00:34:26And the Hardy boys are cooking.

00:34:29Malenko off the road.

00:34:30Big back body drop to the light heavyweight champion.

00:34:32Oh, no!

00:34:33Intercontinental champion flying as well.

00:34:35And Matt Hardy clothesline.

00:34:37Here comes Malenko with a spinning heel kick to the face of Matt Hardy.

00:34:41Malenko, legal man.

00:34:42Here's the cover.

00:34:42There's one.

00:34:43There's two.

00:34:43Jeff Hardy breaks up the three count.

00:34:45Oh, that was close.

00:34:46And now all four men in the ring.

00:34:49Benoit, Jeff Hardy, Matt Hardy, and Dean Malenko.

00:34:53Tremendous action on SmackDown.

00:34:55We've got quite a melee going now.

00:34:57Now look out.

00:34:58Reversal.

00:34:58Matt Hardy with an elbow to the face of Malenko.

00:35:01Look at that.

00:35:01Jeff Hardy.

00:35:01Oh, man.

00:35:02What a double team by the Hardy boys.

00:35:04And Benoit made Matt Hardy pay.

00:35:06Man, I can't keep up with it.

00:35:08These guys are getting knocked down left and right.

00:35:11Jeff Hardy whipped in the ropes by Chris Benoit.

00:35:13Up over the top goes Jeff Hardy.

00:35:15And that's going to allow Malenko to take advantage of Matt Hardy.

00:35:21Oh, look out, Kate.

00:35:23Jeff Hardy flying high.

00:35:24Malenko has to cover it.

00:35:26One clock, five.

00:35:27And in the back of Dean Malenko.

00:35:29Front kick to Benoit.

00:35:30Covered by Matt.

00:35:31There's two.

00:35:32Down.

00:35:33He got it.

00:35:34The Hardy boys pick a moment over the Radicals.

00:35:37The Hardy boys.

00:35:39The Red Hot.

00:35:41What a win.

00:35:43What a win.

00:35:44Jeff Hardy with a swanton bomb.

00:35:47Check it out, Kate.

00:35:48Unbelievable.

00:35:49Run the top.

00:35:50Oh, they're going to be back in my head.

00:35:52The Hardy boys are on a major roll.

00:35:57This thing is extremely heavy.

00:36:00Oh, no.

00:36:01Too close to match time.

00:36:03You know, Kurt, we were talking and I think we were wrong about you in the past.

00:36:06You got screwed at WrestleMania.

00:36:08Oh, it's true.

00:36:09It's true.

00:36:10Here you go.

00:36:11Well, thanks, Shane.

00:36:12What would you say, we've been talking about this a little bit, what would you say to wearing gold around

00:36:18your waist again?

00:36:19I'd love it.

00:36:20And not just Olympic gold.

00:36:22We're talking WWF gold around your waist.

00:36:24Having that opportunity tonight.

00:36:26Yeah.

00:36:27Tonight, World Wrestling Federation Tag Team Championships.

00:36:31That sounds great.

00:36:33And we've already got a partner handpicked just for you.

00:36:387'2", 500 pounds, the big show.

00:36:43Nice thing.

00:36:44Triple H, Shane, thank you very much.

00:36:46You won't regret it.

00:36:47Woo!

00:36:48Good luck.

00:36:50Have you seen the show tonight?

00:36:52No, but I've heard.

00:36:56And now, the WWF Smack of the Night, presented by Milk, with nine essential nutrients for active bodies.

00:37:02Got Milk?

00:37:02Gulp it down.

00:37:04Hold on, hold on to the athletes.

00:37:05Hey, wait a minute.

00:37:06The pull box from Hill from Bradshaw.

00:37:08The athletes.

00:37:09Oh, man.

00:37:10Crap.

00:37:10Hawley is the hardcore champion again.

00:37:13I think he may have paid a visit to the athletes' protection agency.

00:37:16They paid off.

00:37:17Crash made an investment with the athletes, apparently.

00:37:22Well, King, that's what it's all about, the hardcore title, the only WWF title on the line, 24 hours a

00:37:28day, seven days a week, and here's your champion.

00:37:31Yeah.

00:37:32The Houdini of hardcore, look up.

00:37:34He's a master of the champion for that title.

00:37:36For one fall, and it is for the World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Championship.

00:37:42To see first from Mobile, Alabama, weighing it in allegedly well over 400 pounds, he is the World Wrestling Federation

00:37:51Hardcore Champion, Crash Hurley.

00:37:57And tonight's back down and brought to you by RCX Maximum Power Cola.

00:38:02Connect all four of RCX WWF Superstar coaches.

00:38:05Detailed on specially marked packages of RCX Maximum Power Cola.

00:38:09Not just cola, it's power cola.

00:38:11And by Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, insures now for Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color.

00:38:17And by WWF Aggression, original rap songs based on superstar scenes.

00:38:22The greatest collection of hip-hop stars anywhere.

00:38:24Available now at all NRM locations and other fine record stores.

00:38:30And the Challenger from Boston Mass, weighing in at 234 pounds.

00:38:38Perry, center.

00:38:39Oh boy, look at this.

00:38:41Look at this.

00:38:43And King, as you mentioned earlier, Perry Saturn, the only radical not to have a title here in the World

00:38:48Wrestling Federation.

00:38:49But he can change that right now on SmackDown.

00:38:52Well, you think the Rock's so great, which I do too.

00:38:55Perry Saturn's a lot like the Rock.

00:38:56The Rock don't have a title either.

00:38:58There are hardcore titles on the line.

00:39:00No holds barred.

00:39:01Balls count anywhere.

00:39:02Anything goes.

00:39:03Crash Hawley against Perry Saturn.

00:39:06And Crash Hawley is emptying out Perry Saturn's bag of tricks.

00:39:10Well, I'm going to tell you, this is going to be one ugly match.

00:39:13You know Perry Saturn.

00:39:13Look at this guy.

00:39:15I mean, he is strictly business.

00:39:17Crash Hawley bouncing off the apron of the ring.

00:39:20The power and strength of Perry Saturn.

00:39:22The McMahon-Helmsley faction in complete control tonight.

00:39:26Mr. McMahon is not here on SmackDown.

00:39:28And what about the big matchup Triple H and Shane just set up?

00:39:31Kurt Angle will team with the Big Show against Edge and Christian for the tag team titles.

00:39:35Yeah, but what I'm wondering is, you heard what Triple H and Shane said about the big show.

00:39:39Have you seen the big show?

00:39:41Cover by Crash.

00:39:42There's two and a kickout.

00:39:43No, I haven't.

00:39:44I haven't seen him all day.

00:39:45I haven't even heard.

00:39:46I can't wait to see what he's looking like tonight.

00:39:48Crash Hawley with the right hand to Perry Saturn.

00:39:51Reversal.

00:39:51Crash off the ropes.

00:39:53Perry Saturn misses right hand.

00:39:54Look out.

00:39:55Crash and trouble.

00:39:55What a counter into a hurricanrana by Crash Hawley.

00:39:58And Crash with a cover on Perry Saturn.

00:40:00Hook of the leg.

00:40:01There's two and a kickout.

00:40:02Oh, he almost added.

00:40:04Watch it.

00:40:05What do you think of this newfound camaraderie between Shane McMahon and Triple H?

00:40:11Well, if you ask me, it's a breath of fresh air.

00:40:14It's a lovely thing.

00:40:15I like to see people getting along.

00:40:17Power bomb by Perry Saturn.

00:40:19Plus, you've got to admit, they're pretty entertaining, right?

00:40:21Yeah, pretty entertaining.

00:40:23What do you mean pretty entertaining?

00:40:24That's your take on it.

00:40:26Okay, look at this now.

00:40:26Perry Saturn with that trash container lid.

00:40:30Crash out.

00:40:31Holly counters.

00:40:32Look out.

00:40:32Uh-oh, watch this.

00:40:34Look out.

00:40:34Oh, my.

00:40:35To the back of the head of Crash Hawley.

00:40:37Cover.

00:40:37There's two.

00:40:38Crash Hawley reverses it.

00:40:40Cover again.

00:40:41There's one.

00:40:41Two.

00:40:42Perry Saturn with a reversal.

00:40:43Oh, man.

00:40:45Face first.

00:40:47Crash hooks the leg.

00:40:48There's two.

00:40:49And Saturn gets the shoulder up.

00:40:51Little bit of this, King.

00:40:52Yeah.

00:40:54Oh, man.

00:40:56Echoing throughout the Ice Palace in Tampa.

00:40:58Oh, boy.

00:41:00Crash Hawley face first, middle of the ring.

00:41:02No holds barred.

00:41:04Falls count anywhere.

00:41:04No disqualification with a hardcore title on the line.

00:41:08It is the only title.

00:41:09Oh, my.

00:41:10Good grief.

00:41:11Look at that.

00:41:12Crutch to the back of Crash Hawley.

00:41:14Boy, this Perry Saturn.

00:41:15I'm going to tell you.

00:41:16Look at him.

00:41:17He's scary.

00:41:18Hook of the leg.

00:41:19Two.

00:41:20Crash kicks out somehow before the count of three.

00:41:22It's one of those faces only a mother could love.

00:41:24You know what?

00:41:25You should never get in a fight with a guy who is ugly because you've got nothing to lose.

00:41:29Crash Hawley.

00:41:30Oh, look out.

00:41:31Deep.

00:41:31Oh, the turnbuckle.

00:41:33Gut first.

00:41:34Can you imagine how that feels?

00:41:36Gut first into that turnbuckle.

00:41:38And look at Saturn.

00:41:39I understand he had his hands taped so that he doesn't break his hands on poor Crash's face.

00:41:44Oh, nobody home.

00:41:45Crash moves out of the way.

00:41:46Great counter by the Hardcore Champion.

00:41:48King, you've got to give Crash Hawley credit.

00:41:50Tremendous amount of heart for this kid.

00:41:52The Hardcore Champion.

00:41:54I give Elroy a lot of credit.

00:41:56Oh, man.

00:41:56Tornado DDT off the second rope.

00:41:58Cover.

00:41:59Could be all.

00:42:00Two.

00:42:00Hooks the leg.

00:42:00And a kick out by Perry Saturn.

00:42:03I mean, Elroy's, he's got himself a, looks like a cult following.

00:42:08He's got fans all over.

00:42:10Oh.

00:42:11Kick to the face.

00:42:12Crash may be out cold.

00:42:13Hook of the leg.

00:42:14Look at that.

00:42:15It's over.

00:42:15We have a new Hardcore Champion.

00:42:17Here is your winner and the new World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Champion, Perry Sitter.

00:42:25What about that?

00:42:27Wait a minute.

00:42:28What's that?

00:42:28It's Taz.

00:42:29It's that street thug.

00:42:31With another ring.

00:42:38Here is your winner and the new World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Champion.

00:42:44It's Taz.

00:42:45Look out.

00:42:46Crash just knocked Taz down.

00:42:48Hooks the leg.

00:42:49Crash regained the Hardcore title.

00:42:52Here is your winner and the new World Wrestling Federation Hardcore Champion.

00:42:57The Houdini Hardcore has escaped again.

00:43:00Look at this.

00:43:02I told you.

00:43:02And Perry Sittert and Taz hammered away in the ring.

00:43:05Taz believes Perry Sittert cost him the Intercontinental title last week.

00:43:08Boy, both of these guys are former Hardcore Champions and they're going at each other.

00:43:12It helped.

00:43:13Perry Sittert was the fourth radical, the home goal for a split second.

00:43:17Then Taz won the title.

00:43:19And then it was Crash Holly.

00:43:20But the bottom line, King, is the Houdini of Hardcore.

00:43:23Crash Holly has escaped again.

00:43:26What's the deal with airline food?

00:43:29I haven't experienced peanuts that bad since Charles Schultz was still alive.

00:43:36Oh, boy.

00:43:37I don't think you think you're a black man.

00:43:40You stink, black man.

00:43:43Oh, good.

00:43:44He's killing him, Michael.

00:43:47Oh, man.

00:43:48Steve Blackman doing stand-up comedy.

00:43:50I think those people would rather watch the paint dry.

00:43:53He had the oldest, the oldest heckler in history.

00:43:55Oh, boy.

00:43:56Those people don't know comedy.

00:43:58They know terms like arthritis, miracle veins, liver spots, pacemakers, strategy jokes.

00:44:04Well, I'll tell you what, King.

00:44:06Kurt Angle teams with the big show here tonight to take on Edge and Christian with the tag team titles

00:44:10on the line

00:44:11in a match set up by Triple H and Shane McMahon.

00:44:15Oh, I can't wait to hear some words of wisdom from a great American hero.

00:44:20Kurt Angle.

00:44:22Finally, tonight, my quest to reacquire championship gold has come to an end

00:44:29because tonight I have the one partner guaranteed, he's guaranteed, to bring home the tag team titles.

00:44:40It's true.

00:44:41It's true.

00:44:42The most dominant force in sports entertainment today, the big show.

00:44:49Oh, boy.

00:44:50He's the biggest athlete in the world at 7'2", 500 pounds.

00:44:55I can't wait to see what he looks like tonight.

00:44:57I have no...

00:44:58King, what is this?

00:44:59Oh, my gosh.

00:45:01Check out the eyebrows.

00:45:04He looks...

00:45:04He looks vaguely familiar.

00:45:06Look at...

00:45:07Yeah, look at...

00:45:08Jane and Triple H enjoying this.

00:45:11He goes wearing a kilt.

00:45:14Who's he trying to be?

00:45:15I don't know.

00:45:18You know what?

00:45:19He's just trying to be himself.

00:45:21This is obviously the real big show.

00:45:23Well, you're right, King.

00:45:25I mean, you hang out with the big show backstage in the locker room area.

00:45:27He's an entertaining guy.

00:45:28He likes to have a lot of fun.

00:45:30You know, maybe that Saturday Night Live appearance just snapped him into reality.

00:45:33He wanted to be himself.

00:45:35Yeah, but look at Kurt.

00:45:36I think Kurt's as confused as we are.

00:45:38He don't know who the big show is tonight.

00:45:42Kurt Angle can't believe it.

00:45:44Big show still 7'2", 500 pounds.

00:45:47He's just having a blast out there.

00:45:50What are you doing?

00:45:59Who gets a second for me, lad?

00:46:02Oh, listen to that accent.

00:46:07Can't you see, you wee fairy?

00:46:09I'm trying to have a little bit of fun.

00:46:11King, you know who he's trying to be?

00:46:13I don't know who he sounds like.

00:46:14Well, I'm here to win championship gold.

00:46:16I don't know about you.

00:46:17Oh, I see.

00:46:18You want to add more medals around your neck.

00:46:21Is that it?

00:46:22You don't have a neck.

00:46:24It's more like a bowling ball on a concrete block.

00:46:27Oh, man.

00:46:28He's a fat bastard from Austin Powers.

00:46:29Now, hold on, hold on.

00:46:31I'm here to get gold, too.

00:46:35But I guarantee you,

00:46:36they don't want to see gold around your neck

00:46:39or around your waist.

00:46:43They want to know what's under my kilt.

00:46:46Oh, my God.

00:46:47Hold on.

00:46:48Look.

00:46:49Oh, put your wee ones away

00:46:51and bet your daisies

00:46:53I'm gonna show them

00:46:55because I'm dead sexy.

00:46:58Oh, no, not that.

00:47:00Big show.

00:47:01Hey, we...

00:47:01Stop that.

00:47:02There's children here.

00:47:03Don't do that.

00:47:04I don't...

00:47:04There's children here.

00:47:05Oh, I suppose you want to get this thing going now, do you?

00:47:09Well, I'll help you with your quest for gold.

00:47:12So bring out the wee fairy sissy boys

00:47:15and let's get this thing done.

00:47:17I don't think Kurt Angle saw the slide

00:47:19who said it.

00:47:23You gotta admit, the guy's entertaining.

00:47:25He's a lot of fun.

00:47:26Yeah.

00:47:26Cool and kind.

00:47:27Tag Team Conference is scheduled for one fall

00:47:30and it is for the World Wrestling Federation

00:47:33Tag Team Champions

00:47:35making their way to the ring

00:47:37from Toronto, Canada

00:47:38and a combined weight of 455 pounds.

00:47:42They are the World Wrestling Federation

00:47:44Tag Team Champions

00:47:46Christian and Ed.

00:47:48You know, King, the Big Show's a great personality.

00:47:51He likes to have fun

00:47:52but keep in mind,

00:47:53he's still 72, 500 pounds.

00:47:56He's still a monster

00:47:57and if conditions are right,

00:47:58if he...

00:47:58You know, he can snap at any moment

00:48:00and take your head off.

00:48:01He wants a baby back, baby back, baby back, baby back.

00:48:05Oh, he saw that on Raw Monday night

00:48:06in a matchup against Val Venus

00:48:07as Ed starts out this Tag Team title matchup.

00:48:10Look at that!

00:48:11Big Show!

00:48:11Woo!

00:48:12Last power by the Big Show.

00:48:15Don't provoke him.

00:48:16And Christian goes to the legs

00:48:17to try to take this big Sequoia off his feet

00:48:19and a double team

00:48:20by Edge and Christian,

00:48:22the Tag Team Champions.

00:48:23Double dropkick didn't even put him down.

00:48:25Oh!

00:48:26Edge into the chest

00:48:27of the 7'2", 500 pound.

00:48:29Big Show who catches Christian

00:48:30in midair.

00:48:32Can you believe the strength

00:48:33of this man?

00:48:34If we use it, Billy.

00:48:36Oh, man!

00:48:38Christian from 10 feet high

00:48:39and the edge grip around his neck

00:48:42and he's going for the ride!

00:48:45And Christian kicked to the midsection.

00:48:47Oh, no!

00:48:48Big Show's looking at the flies, King.

00:48:51Oh, double headbutt.

00:48:53See, that's what we're talking about.

00:48:55If Big Show is provoked,

00:48:57he's all business.

00:48:59Right, when he's serious,

00:49:00he's deadly.

00:49:01But, uh-oh!

00:49:02Hit the big kilt!

00:49:05And look at this,

00:49:06Kurt Angle with a blind tag from behind.

00:49:08Is he wearing a thong

00:49:10underneath that kilt?

00:49:11That's what it looks like.

00:49:12A leopard,

00:49:12a leopard-skin thong

00:49:14over short.

00:49:15Kurt Angle

00:49:15double came into the turnbuckle.

00:49:18Kurt Angle!

00:49:19And the former Eurocontinental

00:49:20champion in trouble,

00:49:21and Christian hammering away

00:49:22on Kurt Angle.

00:49:23I don't think Kurt Angle

00:49:24liked the fact that

00:49:25the Big Show is having fun.

00:49:27Kurt Angle's all about

00:49:28regaining gold here

00:49:29in the World Wrestling Federation.

00:49:31I haven't gotten over

00:49:32the Big Show's thong.

00:49:32That thing was so big

00:49:33it looked like a hammock.

00:49:34Oh, no!

00:49:35Team again by Edging Christian.

00:49:36And Kurt Angle's

00:49:37in all kinds of trouble.

00:49:38Hook of the leg.

00:49:39There's two and a kick out.

00:49:40That was close.

00:49:42Come on, Kurt!

00:49:43Lighten up!

00:49:46You're, you're, you're, you're...

00:49:47Overdoing one of your three odds.

00:49:49You're a little too intense.

00:49:50Have a good time in there!

00:49:51Christian off the tag.

00:49:52Edging Christian,

00:49:53the tag team champions,

00:49:53tag team titles

00:49:55are on the line.

00:49:56You think about it, King.

00:49:57Kurt Angle and Big Show,

00:49:59they have a lot in common.

00:50:00Oh!

00:50:01Look at that.

00:50:01Two guys just trying

00:50:02to be themselves.

00:50:04Kurt Angle,

00:50:05look at this.

00:50:06Proclaiming as a celibacy

00:50:07on Raw this past Monday night.

00:50:09Look at that.

00:50:09Look at the Big Show.

00:50:10He did sexy.

00:50:11Oh!

00:50:12Here's a cover.

00:50:13There's two.

00:50:14Kick out off the bridge by Edge.

00:50:16You know,

00:50:16Kurt Angle wanted

00:50:16to make a tag there, King,

00:50:17but Big Show is having fun.

00:50:20A lot of baby in his belly.

00:50:24Shane and Triple H

00:50:25really enjoying this matchup backstage.

00:50:28Oh, belly to belly

00:50:28by Kurt Angle.

00:50:30Beautiful move there.

00:50:31It was Shane and Triple H

00:50:32who set this match up

00:50:34and Kurt Angle again.

00:50:35What are you doing?

00:50:36What are you doing?

00:50:38Kurt Angle just asked the Big Show,

00:50:40what are you doing?

00:50:41Come on, what are you doing?

00:50:43Uh-oh.

00:50:44Kurt Angle just slapped the Big Show

00:50:46and I think the Big Show

00:50:47had just snapped.

00:50:48Shouldn't have done that.

00:50:49There was the provocation

00:50:51that the Big Show needed.

00:50:52That wasn't intelligent.

00:50:53And that's his tag team partner,

00:50:55King, he's got an off on.

00:50:56Oh, no.

00:50:57That's what you get,

00:50:58you stupid son of a...

00:50:59Oh, look out.

00:51:00Right hand from the Big Show.

00:51:02I think Kurt Angle didn't believe

00:51:04Big Show was taking

00:51:05the tag team title match seriously.

00:51:07Kurt.

00:51:08And that slap to the face

00:51:09of the Big Show

00:51:10has cost Angle

00:51:11and Big Show's a snap show.

00:51:13I think I counted out.

00:51:13It was all of a count out

00:51:14and still World Wrestling Federation

00:51:17tied team champions,

00:51:19Christian and Edge.

00:51:22Big Show's had about enough

00:51:23for Mr. Olympian Kurt Angle.

00:51:25No, don't do that.

00:51:26Don't do it.

00:51:27Look at this.

00:51:27Oh, power bomb to Kurt Angle.

00:51:30Do not make the big man angry.

00:51:34Well, Triple-A chip

00:51:36and nail on the head, King.

00:51:37You don't make the big man angry.

00:51:39He has an A to Z personality.

00:51:41Just let him have some fun.

00:51:43Oh, my.

00:51:45Big Show can have a lot of fun,

00:51:46but when he's pushed,

00:51:47when he's provoked,

00:51:48he just snaps.

00:51:50Hey!

00:51:53Excuse me, ladies.

00:51:54Have you seen the Godfather

00:51:55around here anywhere?

00:51:57Godfather?

00:51:58I'm sorry.

00:51:59Excuse me.

00:51:59What's that supposed to mean, Chris?

00:52:00Case of mistaken identity.

00:52:01Excuse me.

00:52:01I'm sorry.

00:52:02Oh.

00:52:03Uh-oh.

00:52:04Yeah, you're sorry, all right.

00:52:06Godfather, I'm sorry, all right.

00:52:08Pose.

00:52:10And now, the Castrol GTX Slam of the Week,

00:52:13brought to you by the motor oil

00:52:15that provides maximum protection.

00:52:17Castrol GTX.

00:52:18Drive hard.

00:52:20A Dudley's got that look in the eye

00:52:22and a table in the ring.

00:52:23That's not a very smart move, young lady.

00:52:25You can't reason with these guys.

00:52:26There's Albert.

00:52:27Oh!

00:52:28B&A once again preventing Dudley boys

00:52:32from manhandling tricks.

00:52:36Okay, it was that powerbomb

00:52:38from Albert to Bubba Ray Dudley

00:52:40through a table,

00:52:41which set up this next matchup on SmackDown.

00:52:44Yeah, Bubba had wood.

00:52:45He had that wooden table out,

00:52:46and he was ready to make that young lady

00:52:49acquainted with it.

00:52:50But instead, Albert,

00:52:52did you believe he put Bubba Ray Dudley

00:52:54through the table?

00:52:54Contested schedule for one call.

00:52:56Thinking it's weathering

00:52:58being accompanied by Trish Stratus

00:53:00and Tetz.

00:53:01He weighs in at 347 pounds.

00:53:05Albert!

00:53:06And you're right, King.

00:53:07Bubba Ray Dudley and Devon Dudley

00:53:09have had their minds set

00:53:10over the past week or so

00:53:12of putting that young lady,

00:53:13Trish Stratus,

00:53:14through a table.

00:53:16Bubba Ray has gotten in that strength

00:53:18over the past couple of weeks.

00:53:19He's been focused on Trish Stratus

00:53:21and the table.

00:53:22I can think it's a better thing

00:53:23to do with Trish Stratus

00:53:24than to put him through a table.

00:53:25I'm sure you could.

00:53:26On a table, but not...

00:53:27Bring that company to the ring

00:53:29by Devon.

00:53:30He weighs in at 325 pounds.

00:53:33Bubba Ray Dudley!

00:53:35So Bubba Ray Dudley

00:53:37is champions

00:53:38as he heads to the ring

00:53:39one-on-one a counter

00:53:40with a big 360-pound.

00:53:42Albert, here we go.

00:53:43Albert against Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:53:45Like the Charge of the Light Brigade.

00:53:47Speaking of the Charge of the Light Brigade,

00:53:49I don't think it was too wise

00:53:50about Jericho.

00:53:51Why 2 Che?

00:53:53With those flipping remarks

00:53:54that Torian

00:53:5570s again helps him.

00:53:57Asking where's the godfather.

00:53:59You know, I told you,

00:54:00Y2J has always had a big mouth.

00:54:02He likes to put his foot in his mouth.

00:54:04Bubba Ray into the corner.

00:54:05Boot to the face of Albert.

00:54:06One thing I can't stand

00:54:07is a person with a big mouth

00:54:08and talking before he thinks.

00:54:10Shoulder blocked by Bubba Ray.

00:54:11Here's the first cover of the matchup.

00:54:13Two kick-out by Albert.

00:54:15Uh-oh, look out.

00:54:16Making a kissing.

00:54:17What is Trish thinking about?

00:54:18Walking up to the apron.

00:54:20Bubba Ray in control of Albert.

00:54:22I think she's looking for some sort of an opportunity,

00:54:24but she's in the wrong...

00:54:25Uh-oh.

00:54:26Oh, look out.

00:54:26You're in the wrong place, sweetheart.

00:54:28And Bubba Ray staring at Trish.

00:54:30Took a swing at her and missed.

00:54:31And Albert from behind.

00:54:33Trish with the distraction of Bubba Ray.

00:54:35Cover.

00:54:36Two.

00:54:36And just getting the shoulder up.

00:54:38Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:54:39And I'll tell you, King,

00:54:40Trish Stratus is playing with fire.

00:54:42Plain and simple.

00:54:43Well, Bubba Ray better, uh...

00:54:46He better keep his mind on business.

00:54:47We know what the Dudley's motto is.

00:54:49Thou shall not mess with the Dudley boys.

00:54:51Up on a sidewalk slam by Albert.

00:54:53Hook of the leg as Trish looks on.

00:54:55Kick out after two.

00:55:00Look at the strength of Albert

00:55:01as he slams Bubba Ray

00:55:03in the middle of the ring.

00:55:05Oh, that Trish knew exactly what she was doing

00:55:06when she set up Bubba Ray.

00:55:07She did ever since that little set up there.

00:55:09Albert's been in control of this matchup.

00:55:11Second rope.

00:55:12Bubba Ray in all kinds of trouble.

00:55:14Lift to Trish.

00:55:15For a little bit of...

00:55:15Oh, look out.

00:55:17Bubba Ray rolling out of the way.

00:55:18Right on his A.

00:55:19Albert taking a little too much time.

00:55:21And Bubba Ray with a clothesline.

00:55:25Kick to the midsection.

00:55:26DDT.

00:55:27Wow.

00:55:27Bubba Ray planting Albert.

00:55:29Rolls into the cover.

00:55:30There's one.

00:55:30There's two.

00:55:31And a shoulder up for Albert.

00:55:33So tonight, King,

00:55:34The Rock finally gets Triple H

00:55:36back in the ring.

00:55:38I can't wait.

00:55:39It's going to be great.

00:55:40Watch it here.

00:55:41Telegraph.

00:55:42Bubba to the...

00:55:42Kick to the chest.

00:55:43Kick to the stomach.

00:55:45Look at this.

00:55:46Look at the strength of Albert.

00:55:47He's going to try to counter it.

00:55:49He goes into a power bomb.

00:55:50Trish loves it.

00:55:51Cover.

00:55:52And a kick out again

00:55:53by Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:55:55What is it going to take

00:55:56to keep Bubba Ray down?

00:55:58What a matchup on SmackDown.

00:56:00Been an explosive night already.

00:56:02Bubba Ray

00:56:03whipsed into the corner.

00:56:04Albert missed his...

00:56:05Look at this.

00:56:06Modified version of the DDT.

00:56:08The Dudley Death Drop.

00:56:09Hook to the leg.

00:56:10And it's over.

00:56:11Bubba Ray Dudley

00:56:11picks up the win.

00:56:13Trish can't believe it.

00:56:15Look out.

00:56:16Oh.

00:56:17Test attacking Divine

00:56:18from behind.

00:56:20Test is hot.

00:56:22Test is real hot.

00:56:23It was a modified version

00:56:25of the Dudley Death Drop.

00:56:26Wait a minute.

00:56:26What are they doing?

00:56:27What is Trish doing?

00:56:29Trish Stratus is going

00:56:30for some hardware.

00:56:31Trish, you can't get wood.

00:56:32That's what the Dudley boys do.

00:56:35What?

00:56:36Test is tossing a table

00:56:37into the ring.

00:56:40Oh, no.

00:56:41What in the world

00:56:41are TNA thinking about?

00:56:44I guess they're thinking

00:56:45about revenge right now.

00:56:46Revenge.

00:56:47King, they're trying to put

00:56:48Bubba Ray Dudley

00:56:49through a table

00:56:50for the second straight time.

00:56:53Uh-oh.

00:56:54Look out.

00:56:54TNA's here.

00:56:56From behind

00:56:57and the back of Test.

00:56:59Lori Test

00:56:59in the middle of the ring.

00:57:01Watch it.

00:57:01And out of the head of Albert.

00:57:03And Trish can't believe it.

00:57:05Her plan's backfiring.

00:57:06TNA's in trouble.

00:57:09Oh, Delbert.

00:57:10Oh, no.

00:57:12A hand blast

00:57:13through the table.

00:57:15Payback for Raw

00:57:17on Monday night.

00:57:18Trish can't believe it.

00:57:21TNA held mid.

00:57:22That puts Bubba Ray

00:57:23through a table again.

00:57:25But on Smackdown,

00:57:26it was Albert

00:57:27who went through.

00:57:29Take a look at this again.

00:57:30Albert set up

00:57:31on that table

00:57:32and then Bubba Ray

00:57:33climbs to the top

00:57:34and it's Banzai.

00:57:37Oh, 300 pounds

00:57:38trashing into

00:57:39360 pounds

00:57:41at a table.

00:57:42And there's a

00:57:43ebolic trance

00:57:44of Bubba Ray Dudley.

00:57:45That was an eye-popper,

00:57:47wasn't it, Trish?

00:57:48Oh, man.

00:57:51Oh, man.

00:57:52I'm glad you guys

00:57:53came in here.

00:57:53I just want to,

00:57:54for what I said before,

00:57:55I really want to apologize.

00:57:56I didn't mean it.

00:57:57I mean, from behind,

00:57:58you guys are almost

00:57:58as attractive

00:57:59as the Godfathers.

00:58:00I mean,

00:58:00you're a little bit

00:58:01wider in the hips,

00:58:01but other than that,

00:58:03I mean,

00:58:03it was just my mistake.

00:58:04I'm sorry.

00:58:04And once again,

00:58:06I apologize.

00:58:07Sorry.

00:58:07My mistake.

00:58:09Okay, no problem.

00:58:10We just wanted to say

00:58:10good luck

00:58:11in your match tonight

00:58:12against X-Pac.

00:58:13Thank you very much.

00:58:14I appreciate that.

00:58:15Oh, but one other thing.

00:58:16It's not just against X-Pac.

00:58:19You've got to face

00:58:19the Road Dog, too.

00:58:21So...

00:58:21What?

00:58:21No hard feelings.

00:58:23Good luck.

00:58:24Did you hear that?

00:58:25Jericho, X-Pac,

00:58:26Road Dog tonight.

00:58:28Oh, we're back,

00:58:31Michael.

00:59:14What?

00:59:16Bring it on?

00:59:19Oh, man.

00:59:20I don't think it went too well.

00:59:21Not rave reviews

00:59:23for the Blackman Comedy Hour.

00:59:25Speaking of rave reviews, baby!

00:59:27The She-Devil,

00:59:29Terry,

00:59:29on her way to the ring

00:59:30with a fabulous

00:59:30Moolah for tag-team action.

00:59:32She's a devil, all right,

00:59:33because it's got to be

00:59:34a sin to look that good.

00:59:36Oh, so,

00:59:36what about what Terry did

00:59:38this past week

00:59:38on Raw King?

00:59:39Well...

00:59:39To the cat.

00:59:40You know,

00:59:41Terry and the cat

00:59:41have had a running battle.

00:59:43And I gotta say,

00:59:44Terry got one up

00:59:45on the cat.

00:59:46She sent her to a spa

00:59:47and then she slipped her a...

00:59:48I think it was some catnip.

00:59:50Cat took a catnap

00:59:51and when she woke up,

00:59:52look at the hairstyle!

00:59:55Well,

00:59:55Terry suckered the cat in,

00:59:57promised a nice day

00:59:59in a beauty salon,

01:00:00and look what happened

01:00:01to the cat.

01:00:01Oh, boy.

01:00:03I'm gonna tell you something.

01:00:05That cat is angry.

01:00:09This cat has some sharp paws.

01:00:11We're gonna find out

01:00:12how sharp right now.

01:00:16Moolah get real close materialist.

01:00:18Tag team matches

01:00:21Making their way to the ring,

01:00:23Hey Young and the cat.

01:00:27different hairstyle

01:00:32on their way down to the ring.

01:00:33Holding hands,

01:00:34ready for the matchup.

01:00:36And look at Mae Young

01:00:36with that crown on.

01:00:37That really hurts me.

01:00:39That was given to her

01:00:39by Steve Sutton,

01:00:40by the way.

01:00:41Who gave you yours?

01:00:43What are you talking about?

01:00:44King Henry?

01:00:45Hey, look at this.

01:00:46I heard mine.

01:00:48Oh, this is gonna be hot.

01:00:50So it's a fabulous Moolah

01:00:51and Terry against Mae Young

01:00:52and the cat and King.

01:00:53You know,

01:00:53Mae Young has a huge score

01:00:55to settle as well

01:00:56with her former buddy,

01:00:57the fabulous Moolah.

01:00:59Yeah,

01:00:59that could be good.

01:01:00They both need to be

01:01:01in that rest home

01:01:03listening to Steve Blackman

01:01:05crack those lousy jokes.

01:01:07Well, it was Moolah

01:01:07who turned her back

01:01:08on Mae a few weeks ago.

01:01:10Moolah jealous of the spotlight

01:01:11that Mae Young has received

01:01:13here in the World Wrestling Federation.

01:01:15Come on,

01:01:15let's face it.

01:01:16Mae Young would have meant nothing

01:01:17if Moolah hadn't brought her here.

01:01:19Oh, look at the cat.

01:01:20Oh, here we go.

01:01:20Terry kicking things off.

01:01:22And Terry,

01:01:24she's all over the cat.

01:01:25She wants to pull what's left

01:01:26of the cat's hair up.

01:01:27But look at the cat go.

01:01:28Woo-hoo.

01:01:29Counter after counter.

01:01:31You're a joy in this, aren't you?

01:01:32Oh, you better believe it.

01:01:33I wish that cat would just

01:01:35have her litter there.

01:01:38Uh-oh, look at this.

01:01:39Oh, look at Mae Young.

01:01:41Terry's getting it from Mae Young.

01:01:43Yeah!

01:01:4377 years young.

01:01:4677 years.

01:01:47Come on,

01:01:47if she said a real age,

01:01:48you'd think it was her phone number.

01:01:50And look out,

01:01:50Terry making a tag

01:01:52to the fabulous Moolah.

01:01:53And here comes

01:01:53the WWF Hall of Famer.

01:01:55Oh, here, uh-oh,

01:01:56she's gonna...

01:01:57She's got it.

01:01:58The cat just slapped Moolah.

01:01:59Did you see that?

01:02:00Oh, look at it.

01:02:00Moolah's not gonna

01:02:01take that lion now.

01:02:02Oh, cat.

01:02:03You're in a lot of trouble now.

01:02:04Mae Young could be

01:02:05Cat's grandmother.

01:02:06Oh!

01:02:07Well, if you added up

01:02:08Terry and the cat's age,

01:02:09you wouldn't even

01:02:10be halfway to Moolah's.

01:02:11Don't forget grandmother,

01:02:12great-grandmother.

01:02:13Oh, no.

01:02:15Oh!

01:02:16The cat whipped

01:02:16across the ring

01:02:17by the fabulous Moolah.

01:02:19My great-grandmother,

01:02:20you can treat me that way.

01:02:23This is truly a mixed tag.

01:02:24One generation to the other.

01:02:26Oh!

01:02:26Kick to the face

01:02:27for good measure,

01:02:28and here comes Terry.

01:02:29Now she wants to...

01:02:30She wants to do

01:02:31the final honors here.

01:02:32Yeah, Terry wants to

01:02:33pick up the scratch

01:02:33left by Moolah.

01:02:35Woo-hoo!

01:02:35The sea devil.

01:02:36Cover on the cat.

01:02:37Where's she sitting?

01:02:38Play the reversal

01:02:39by the cat.

01:02:40That's two and a kick-out.

01:02:42Whoa!

01:02:43Wait a minute.

01:02:44And Terry and Cat

01:02:45getting at it.

01:02:47This is gonna get good.

01:02:48I think they almost kissed.

01:02:50Get good.

01:02:50Ha-ha!

01:02:51Get your foot up!

01:02:53The cat.

01:02:55Uh-oh.

01:02:56She was screaming at Terry.

01:02:58Come on!

01:02:58Oh, no!

01:02:59Look out!

01:02:59Oh, man!

01:03:00Terry left out of the ring

01:03:02by the cat.

01:03:03Oh, boy.

01:03:05The chase is on.

01:03:06The chase is...

01:03:06Hey, they're coming over here!

01:03:07Look out!

01:03:08Come here, Jim.

01:03:09Hey, Kate,

01:03:10go over your protection!

01:03:11Okay, right here, girls!

01:03:13Come on!

01:03:13Oh!

01:03:16Did you see that?

01:03:16It's water to the face!

01:03:18That'll get you every time!

01:03:19Yeah, now this could become

01:03:21a wet t-shirt contest!

01:03:22Yahoo!

01:03:24And Cat into the ring

01:03:25makes the tag to Mae Young.

01:03:27Uh-oh.

01:03:27And Terry's skidattles.

01:03:29And here comes Moolah.

01:03:30Yeah, now forget

01:03:31the wet t-shirt contest idea.

01:03:33Oh!

01:03:34Look at me!

01:03:34And Moolah with a shot to Mae.

01:03:36And this is what

01:03:37we've been waiting for, King.

01:03:38It is?

01:03:39Oh!

01:03:40Oh, Moolah!

01:03:41He went for a monkey flip!

01:03:44Look at this!

01:03:46Oh, look at...

01:03:47Oh, man!

01:03:48Look at Nug-Nug Mae's tattoo

01:03:49off her arm!

01:03:50Oh, look out!

01:03:51The fabulous Moolah,

01:03:52WWF Hall of Famer

01:03:54in control

01:03:55and Mae counters!

01:03:56Oh, look at Mae!

01:03:59Mae Young!

01:04:00Mae Mae trying to hurt

01:04:00to run on that.

01:04:01Oh, look at this!

01:04:02Hurricane Rana!

01:04:04If she gets you

01:04:05in a head, scissors,

01:04:06you better submit!

01:04:07I would!

01:04:08Mae Young!

01:04:09Quit calling her Mae Young!

01:04:11She's so old!

01:04:12When David killed Goliath,

01:04:13she called the cops!

01:04:14Look at this!

01:04:15Mae with a shot to Moolah!

01:04:17And a left-handed!

01:04:18Look at Terry from behind!

01:04:20That had no effect

01:04:20on that dinosaur!

01:04:22No!

01:04:22Get away, Terry!

01:04:23Terry's gonna pay for it now!

01:04:25You're not kidding!

01:04:26Where's she going?

01:04:27Boom!

01:04:27Oh, we're through the corner!

01:04:29Mae, did you not realize

01:04:30you're extinct?

01:04:31Oh, no!

01:04:32Wait a minute!

01:04:32No!

01:04:33No!

01:04:34Yes!

01:04:35It's gonna kick!

01:04:36Oh, yes!

01:04:37It's Rocko Buster's here!

01:04:38Oh, baby!

01:04:40Ha, ha, ha, ha!

01:04:42The Rocko Buster!

01:04:43The Wilds, Elvis, the Jekyllis Blocko Buster!

01:04:47Oh, please!

01:04:49Can I kick it out, Mae?

01:04:50I think, I think Moolah is asphyxiated!

01:04:53Who's legal, Moolah and Mae?

01:04:56Ha, are you kidding?

01:04:57They haven't been carted in years!

01:05:00And Moolah is on spear!

01:05:03Spear by the cat!

01:05:04Spear by the cat!

01:05:05Spear by the cat!

01:05:06Have I mentioned I love the WWE?

01:05:08Moolah with an L, down low!

01:05:09To the start of

01:05:10An anti-gibble.

01:05:11Cover.

01:05:12Cover.

01:05:13Mae Young and the cat.

01:05:15Meep Moolah.

01:05:16Through the winners, Mae Young and the cat.

01:05:19Oh, my God.

01:05:22So the cat gets her revenge on Terry with his past week on Raw.

01:05:27Okay, coming up next, handicap action.

01:05:29X-Pac Road Dogg versus Y2J.

01:05:32Celebrate.

01:05:34And now, the WWF Food of the Week brought to you by Lungs.

01:05:38That's Lungs. Rugged boots and shoes with an attitude.

01:05:41Since you never know where you'll end up.

01:05:43Where your Lungs at?

01:05:45That belt slung right back and hit him right in the back of the head.

01:05:48Oh, my God.

01:05:49And Jericho comes for the floor.

01:05:51The face of the barrel.

01:05:53Oh, no.

01:05:54Straight one.

01:05:55Moonsault.

01:05:56And over the long bowl.

01:05:58And the B-18, this is exactly how Andy Guerrero became the European champion last week.

01:06:03Who wears the pants in that family?

01:06:06Loves, decide, and conquer.

01:06:11Uh-oh.

01:06:15Here comes a young man that's in a little bit of trouble, Michael.

01:06:20Uh-oh.

01:06:21A Y2J keeps putting his foot in his mouth, and he really did it tonight.

01:06:25He asked Torrey and Stephanie McMahon Helmsley where the godfather was.

01:06:29Basically, uh, he must've been forgotten by his lady.

01:06:33Woo-hoo.

01:06:33So Stephanie, open mouth, and he's got his foot.

01:06:36Chris Jericho's good at that.

01:06:37So it's supposed to be Chris Jericho versus Dex Pock, but Stephanie's made it.

01:06:41Chris Jericho versus DX, road dog in X-Pock.

01:06:44You know, props to the boss.

01:06:46Welcome to Tampa is Jericho.

01:06:54And it seems that I highly insulted Stephanie McMahon Helmsley when I mistook her for one of

01:07:02the godfather's ladies.

01:07:04And I was gonna come out here and apologize, but since I'm getting screwed in this handicap

01:07:10match anyways, I might as well get my money's worth.

01:07:14What?

01:07:14So it seems, Stephanie, that The Rock and all of these Jericho-holics were correct in calling

01:07:21you a bargain basement.

01:07:25Oh, no.

01:07:25He can't say that.

01:07:27He just did.

01:07:29He's digging a dump of the train.

01:07:30For that, I think you're the filthiest, dirtiest, most disgusting, stankiest, brutal, bottom-feeding,

01:07:40trash-bag hoe that I have ever, ever seen in my life.

01:07:49Damn, I feel better now.

01:07:52Who's the blonde with Stephanie?

01:07:53I don't know, but Stephanie can't be liking what she's hearing out of a YQJ.

01:07:57Stephanie, who is in deep, here tonight on SmackDown.

01:08:04Yeah, shut up, Michael.

01:08:05I want to hear a little bit of Run-D.N.C. right here.

01:08:09King, it's off the Aggression album.

01:08:12I know that, but you shut up.

01:08:13Run-D.N.C., The Kings.

01:08:16I listen to them in the King-mobile all the time.

01:08:18The King-mobile.

01:08:20You got a CD player in that thing?

01:08:21I'll let you ride in it sometime.

01:08:24Look it.

01:08:25There's that Aggression CD right there.

01:08:28X-Pac in a Road Dogg in a handicap matchup

01:08:32against YQJ, Chris Jericho.

01:08:34Match set up by Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley.

01:08:38Hey, King, I'll tell you what.

01:08:39Mr. McMahon is not here tonight,

01:08:41but Triple-A Shane and Stephanie have had no problems at all

01:08:44setting up some matches.

01:08:48It's very vindictive.

01:08:50Here tonight on SmackDown.

01:08:51Look at Tori, boy.

01:08:52Is she looking hot tonight?

01:08:53She's got a stake in this news.

01:08:54She was happy and something.

01:08:56How could somebody mistake her for a common everyday streetwalker?

01:09:01Let me see.

01:09:02And X-Pac in a Road Dogg is set to take on Y2J.

01:09:06Handicap action.

01:09:07Still to come tonight in another matchup set up by the McMahon-Helmsley faction.

01:09:11The Rock team threw the Acolytes against Triple-H, Big Boss Man, and Bull Buchanan.

01:09:17And I'll tell you, King, I still can't...

01:09:18Look at this now.

01:09:20This is a handicap matchup.

01:09:21Not a two-on-one at the same time.

01:09:23Ah, same thing.

01:09:24What the heck?

01:09:24Jericho whipped off the ropes and knocks down the Road Dogg.

01:09:27Oh, and what a heel kick to the face by X-Pac.

01:09:30Got to be ready, Jericho.

01:09:32You're ready to run your mouth.

01:09:33You better be ready to...

01:09:34Back it up.

01:09:35Well, he stepped in it deep here tonight on SmackDown.

01:09:38Shut up.

01:09:40And it's the capacity crowd in Tampa really getting on DX.

01:09:44King, to get back to The Rock story for just a moment, I can't get over the fact that

01:09:47the Acolytes and The Rock are going to team up.

01:09:50I mean, can The Rock actually score?

01:09:52Oh, it's Baruch and Bradshaw.

01:09:54Well, he better be able to trust him.

01:09:56Like I said, he can kiss his career goodbye right here tonight.

01:09:58Yeah, it could be a five-on-one, and it's a two-on-one right here.

01:10:02X-Pac and Road Dogg double-teaming.

01:10:04Look at that.

01:10:07Jericho in trouble.

01:10:08Oh, no!

01:10:09Nobody hold.

01:10:10Oh, X-Pac in trouble.

01:10:12But Road Dogg picks up the pieces.

01:10:15Jericho, baseball slide between the legs.

01:10:17And here's Road Dogg with those left hands.

01:10:20The jab to the face of Jericho.

01:10:22This is what's bad about a handicap match.

01:10:24Uh-oh, misses with a right hand.

01:10:26And Jericho counters.

01:10:27X-Pac, look out!

01:10:29Going for the walls of Jericho!

01:10:30Hurry!

01:10:30The walls of Jericho!

01:10:32Then he couldn't get him locked in, and X-Pac with a kick to the midsection.

01:10:35Hard to get anything locked in when it's two-on-one.

01:10:37X-Pac went for the X-Factor.

01:10:38Jericho countered.

01:10:40Wow!

01:10:41Powerbomb!

01:10:44Spring-Port Unzong caught him!

01:10:46Here's the cover!

01:10:47Hooks the leg!

01:10:48Road Dogg!

01:10:49Oh, and the ring of the three-count and hit X-Pac!

01:10:52Look at this!

01:10:53Oh!

01:10:54Running Bulldog by Jericho!

01:10:56God!

01:10:58Look at Tori!

01:10:59And Jericho, look out!

01:11:01Oh, what agility!

01:11:02And King, can you imagine what it would be like if Jericho pulls on the wall?

01:11:06It's in the ring!

01:11:07She's got to take that into her own hands!

01:11:08Well, Tori's upset with Jericho.

01:11:11Uh-oh!

01:11:12Y2J, look out!

01:11:14Look out!

01:11:14She's not one of the God Brothers ladies!

01:11:17You can't do that!

01:11:17Welcome Jericho and Tori!

01:11:19What's up Jericho and Tori!

01:11:21What's he doing?

01:11:22And Road Dogg from behind!

01:11:24X-Factor!

01:11:25What are you doing, everybody?

01:11:25X-Factor by X-Pac!

01:11:27Hey, count!

01:11:28Recover by Road Dogg!

01:11:29It's over!

01:11:30DX steals one after a valiant effort as Stephanie McMahon healthily loved it!

01:11:35And the punishment again delivered!

01:11:38You all right, Tori?

01:11:39You okay?

01:11:40A great effort by Chris Jericho!

01:11:44But DX picks up the win as Stephanie McMahon healthily celebrates!

01:11:51What's up with your actions?

01:11:52You are a terrible official!

01:11:53How dare you?

01:11:54How can you even involve your nose in my business?

01:11:57Don't cut me off!

01:11:58You understand me?

01:11:59You just sit there and take...

01:12:00Matter of fact, I should fire you on the spot!

01:12:02I should fire you right now!

01:12:03Matter of fact, you are...

01:12:04What?

01:12:05Don't go that far.

01:12:06I'll tell you what.

01:12:07Maybe we should just put you on probation.

01:12:10Maybe that's the key.

01:12:10No, we should fire him right now.

01:12:12You know what?

01:12:12Maybe he can make this up to us.

01:12:15We'll just put you on probation.

01:12:17I'll tell you what, though.

01:12:18Earl, this is your last chance.

01:12:20You screw up one bad call, one more screw up, and you are fired.

01:12:26You understand me?

01:12:27Fired.

01:12:28Fired!

01:12:28You got that?

01:12:29Now get out of here!

01:12:30Out!

01:12:30Now!

01:12:31Now!

01:12:33He better make this up to us.

01:12:35See what he did last when he shoved me?

01:12:38Wait!

01:12:39What were you thinking?

01:12:40You cannot go around and nunchuck an 84-year-old woman.

01:12:44For God's sake, Steve, the one guy in the wheelchair had his brakes locked.

01:12:48He couldn't even roll away.

01:12:49You cannot go around and hit senior citizens.

01:12:52She annoyed me.

01:12:54You just don't get it, do you?

01:12:55You just don't...

01:12:56Let's get out of here.

01:12:57Do you hear that?

01:12:58Do you hear that?

01:12:59Jeez!

01:13:01What do you do?

01:13:03I think we're going to bring him over here.

01:13:05Well, hey!

01:13:07Well, King, what is this all about?

01:13:10It's Stephanie McMahon-Helphley making her way to the ring with someone.

01:13:16That's what I was with her.

01:13:17King, I don't agree.

01:13:18We just saw Shane in Triple H, but senior official, Earl Hebner, on probation.

01:13:23I don't agree with that at all.

01:13:25Wait, wait, wait.

01:13:26You don't agree with that.

01:13:27They didn't put it.

01:13:28Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for winning the ring.

01:13:31You should have fired him.

01:13:31The World Wrestling Federation woman champion, Stephanie McMahon-Helphley.

01:13:38Fire number.

01:13:39Earl Hebner was just doing his job, gang.

01:13:41He shoved Shane.

01:13:42He shoved the WWF champion?

01:13:45Well, what I'm curious about is what did Triple H mean that Earl Hebner could make it up to himself?

01:13:50I'm curious about who did this.

01:13:53We saw our city with Stephanie McMahon-Helphley earlier on this evening.

01:13:57You know, pink, one of my favorite colors, I'm sure.

01:14:02Stephanie, the WWF for women's champion.

01:14:06Her, Shane, and Triple H have been making matches all night long here on SmackDown.

01:14:11I don't blame her.

01:14:12She's a very beautiful woman.

01:14:14Not to ever be mistaken for one of the Godfather's ladies.

01:14:20And now I think we're going to be honored to hear from her.

01:14:23Now I understand how hard it is for all of you to look at us WWF superstars.

01:14:32And our svelte bodies.

01:14:36Yeah.

01:14:37Our hard bodies.

01:14:39Uh-huh.

01:14:41But I want you to know it's a lot tougher for all of us to look out at all of

01:14:49you.

01:14:51I've been saying that for a year.

01:14:52Oh, my gosh.

01:14:53You're nothing but fat, lazy, cellulite-ridden people.

01:15:00Yeah.

01:15:01And quite frankly, you make us sick.

01:15:04Look at that guy.

01:15:05They're really going to be jealous.

01:15:08They're very jealous.

01:15:10So now, as the WWF women's champion,

01:15:15I not only represent all of the women out there,

01:15:19but I represent all of the men.

01:15:22That's right.

01:15:23And your fat kids, too.

01:15:26Yeah.

01:15:27What?

01:15:28Come on.

01:15:28Look at that butter butt.

01:15:29You guys know it.

01:15:31So I'm going to do a public service.

01:15:36Public service.

01:15:37I would like to introduce to you

01:15:40my personal trainer.

01:15:42Yeah.

01:15:43And now yours.

01:15:45All right.

01:15:46Muffy.

01:15:48Muffy.

01:15:49Come on.

01:15:50Let's go.

01:15:51Come on, everybody.

01:15:52Stand up.

01:15:53Look at that.

01:15:53Wait a minute, King.

01:15:55It's The Rock.

01:15:56The Rock sent the team with the Acolytes.

01:15:59Tell The Rock, are you mad enough to tell The Rock

01:16:02whether or not you got bought off by Triple H and the McMann's or not?

01:16:05Yeah.

01:16:05I'm mad enough not to tell you a damn thing.

01:16:07You're just going to have to trust us.

01:16:10Can The Rock trust the Acolytes?

01:16:12We'll find out.

01:16:13Rock teams and The Acolytes next.

01:16:19We are moments away from a huge six-man tag match.

01:16:22The Rock and the Acolytes against Triple H, Big Boss Man of Blue Buchanan.

01:16:26But let's show you what happened on Raw this past Monday night.

01:16:29Triple H single-handedly busting The Rock wide open with those brass knuckles.

01:16:35The McMahon family, led by Triple H, sending a clear message to The Rock.

01:16:41You're in the game of your life, Rock, at the hands of the game, Triple H.

01:16:48And getting here is the man directly responsible for leaving The Rock a bloody mess this past Monday night on

01:16:55Raw.

01:16:55The game, the WWF champion Triple H.

01:17:01Wow.

01:17:03I can't believe that he's going to crawl back in the ring with The Rock.

01:17:06Yeah, what a gutty move by the champion Triple H to get back into the ring with The Rock after

01:17:13what he did to the People's Champ on Monday night.

01:17:16Following six-man tag, he matched his schedule for one call.

01:17:20Producing first-ranking Gregory Vegas company by Shane McMahon and the World Wrestling Federation champion, Stephanie McMahon Helmsley, from Greenwich,

01:17:31Connecticut.

01:17:31Weighing in at 260 pounds, he is the World Wrestling Federation champion, Triple H.

01:17:41And the WWF's Backlash is presented by the Polar Royal that provides maximum protection.

01:17:47Castro's GTX tripod.

01:17:49And, Ken, we just learned earlier tonight that at Backlash, Triple H will take on The Rock.

01:17:56The WWF title is on the line.

01:17:59That's right.

01:17:59Backlash is going to be live in a little over two weeks.

01:18:02Sunday, April 30th, from the sold-out NCAA series, Washington, D.C.

01:18:06And Vince McMahon is going to be in Triple H's corner.

01:18:10Oh!

01:18:10Mr. McMahon is not here tonight.

01:18:13Triple H, Stephanie, and Shane have been running things.

01:18:16And this was a match set up by the McMahon Helmsley faction tonight.

01:18:21And let's take the partners out of your body weight of 612 pounds.

01:18:26Bo Buchanan and the Big Bushman.

01:18:31King these two former running buddies from the presence of Georgia,

01:18:34rubbing shoulders with the McMahon Helmsley faction on Rawman tonight.

01:18:38This guy's weighing in at over 300 pounds each.

01:18:41They're big.

01:18:42And they are mad.

01:18:44Oh, you see it there.

01:18:46Shane McMahon talking to senior official Earl Hebner.

01:18:49We heard the shocking news moments ago.

01:18:51Earl Hebner has been placed on probation.

01:18:54He's lucky he didn't get fired.

01:18:56I can't stress that enough.

01:18:58He probably should have been fired.

01:18:59And their opponents, first of the combined weight of 578 pounds,

01:19:05Bradshaw and Bruce, the Acolyte.

01:19:09And the big question, Kang, is can the Rock trust the Acolyte here tonight on SmackDown?

01:19:16Well, you heard the Rock ask the big question.

01:19:18He put it right to their faces.

01:19:21You better be able to ask him because they really didn't give him an answer, did they?

01:19:24They just said, we gotta trust him.

01:19:26Well, Monday night on Raw, they were bought off by Kyentai.

01:19:29Who knows what happens tonight?

01:19:31Here we go.

01:19:33The Rock is coming.

01:19:38And they're ready to push.

01:19:41From Miami, Florida, weighing in as 275 pounds, The Rock.

01:19:49King, The Rock was busted open.

01:19:51Left a bloody mess in the middle of the ring on Raw Monday night.

01:19:55He required stitches to the forehead.

01:19:58But still, The Rock is here, ready for battle on SmackDown.

01:20:02Yeah, but the truth of the matter is, Michael, he cannot be 100%.

01:20:06I know he's The Rock.

01:20:07I know he's the people champion.

01:20:09I'm the biggest fan of him as anybody.

01:20:11But there's no way that in this short period of time, he's at time to fully recuperate.

01:20:16Well, The Rock got his title shot in backlash to get in triple A.

01:20:19But tonight, he gets to get into the ring with the game.

01:20:22Yeah, but love himself to have to get into the ring with the Acolytes.

01:20:25What are they talking about now?

01:20:28I think The Rock is very leery of the Acolytes.

01:20:30Of course, he has to be.

01:20:32Ever since Farouk and Bradshaw have opened this Acolyte Protection Agency,

01:20:35a little bit of money, a little bit of beer and card money has bought the Acolytes off.

01:20:41Well, let's face it.

01:20:42Their services go to the highest bidder.

01:20:44What's wrong with that?

01:20:45And Bossman starts things off against the people's champ, The Rock.

01:20:47The Rock wants Triple H in the middle of the ring.

01:20:50Bossman, the bull Buchanan with the clothesline.

01:20:53Yeah, The Rock wants Triple H, but he's getting the ball in The Bossman.

01:20:56Triple H is too smart to get in there with The Rock right now.

01:20:59Well, The Rock cleared the ring.

01:21:00And look at the look in the eyes of The Rock, seething, angry.

01:21:05Think of the emotion built up inside of the people's champ and Bossman from behind.

01:21:11Yeah, don't get in there yet, Dane.

01:21:13Not a good idea.

01:21:14King, think about what senior official Roll Hedger is going through in this matchup.

01:21:18His head can't totally be into this match.

01:21:20He was just placed on probation.

01:21:22He should be taken to death and still be employed.

01:21:24Triple H, tossing The Rock into the corner.

01:21:27There is a big move to the midsection of The Rock.

01:21:29I mean, Earl Hefner could have been told to hit the bricks by saying.

01:21:33Look at this.

01:21:35Will Earl Hefner be intimidated in this matchup?

01:21:38Doesn't look like it.

01:21:38Look at him.

01:21:39Oh, Rock with the right hand.

01:21:41And here we go.

01:21:41It's J.G.

01:21:42Flows.

01:21:43The Rock.

01:21:43Oh, it relates.

01:21:44The Rock with the heart of a champion.

01:21:46Smack being laid down now.

01:21:48Rock off the road.

01:21:49The game with a knee to the face.

01:21:51Oh, maybe to that forehead.

01:21:52Remember the stitches The Rock were required on Raw Monday night.

01:21:56Right.

01:21:56Those stitches are still fresh.

01:21:57You know that could be opened up in the drop of a hat.

01:22:00And, King, you hit the nail on the head.

01:22:02The Rock cannot be 100% going to this matchup.

01:22:04How much can The Rock go on adrenaline and guns alone?

01:22:09The Rock with right hands to Bull Buchanan.

01:22:12I'm going to tell you something.

01:22:12Rock don't underestimate Bull Buchanan.

01:22:14He can.

01:22:16Rock just planted him.

01:22:17This guy bullies as tough as they come, Michael.

01:22:20And keep in mind the wild cards outside the ring, King.

01:22:23Stephanie McMahon-Helmsley and Shane McMahon.

01:22:26Look at that.

01:22:26I can tell you The Rock is not 100%.

01:22:28He's not up yet.

01:22:29He would have been up before now.

01:22:31The Rock struggling to his feet.

01:22:34Baruch off the tag.

01:22:35Clothes lines.

01:22:36Look at this.

01:22:37This may answer our question.

01:22:39And here comes Bradshaw.

01:22:41The question was, can The Rock trust the Acolytes?

01:22:44Oh!

01:22:45The answer is yes!

01:22:46I'm not kidding.

01:22:47Oh!

01:22:47Yes!

01:22:49The Acolytes with a score to settle on Bull Buchanan and Bossman cover.

01:22:53After the count of one, Bossman breaks on the count.

01:22:57And Bradshaw, one big angry Texan.

01:23:00Where's Bradshaw going?

01:23:01Oh, he's going to fly.

01:23:03What the hell's he doing?

01:23:04He's too big to fly.

01:23:05Oh!

01:23:05He's got his shoulder to Bull Buchanan.

01:23:08Hooks the ledge.

01:23:09There's one, two, and a kick out by Bull.

01:23:12I'm going to tell you something.

01:23:14This guy, you've got to hand it to Bull Buchanan because this guy, Bradshaw, can hit you as hard

01:23:19as you've ever been hit by anybody.

01:23:21You're right.

01:23:21What a boot by Bull Buchanan who's no small man himself.

01:23:24Is that a tooth that flew there?

01:23:28Bull Buchanan is 6'8", 300 pounds.

01:23:31And look at the agility of Bull Buchanan.

01:23:35Yeah, that's scary right there.

01:23:36And he's giving it to Bradshaw.

01:23:38Combine that power with that agility.

01:23:41He can do anything he wants to here in the WF, in this match especially.

01:23:46Buchanan hammering away on Bradshaw.

01:23:48Six-man tag team matchup.

01:23:52Bradshaw off the road.

01:23:53No, boom, boom.

01:23:54Buchanan telegraphed it.

01:23:56See that?

01:23:57Oh, a swinging neckbreaker by Bradshaw.

01:23:59I don't know if I'd call this a match.

01:24:00It's more like a war.

01:24:01No, no, no.

01:24:02Get another one.

01:24:03And here comes Farouk.

01:24:05These acolytes are mean and bad and Shane McMahon.

01:24:09Big mistake there, Shane.

01:24:10Maybe not.

01:24:11Maybe not.

01:24:12Look out.

01:24:12Shane McMahon.

01:24:14Bradshaw was in pursuit.

01:24:16And look at Bull Buchanan.

01:24:17What agility kicked in the back of the head.

01:24:19Shane, knocking Farouk down.

01:24:21This could be over.

01:24:22Here's the cover.

01:24:23Two kick out by Farouk before the count of three.

01:24:28Oh, look out.

01:24:29Bull Buchanan with a scoop slam.

01:24:32Elbow to the sternum.

01:24:34Wait a minute.

01:24:34He's got power, agility, and speed.

01:24:37You see how fast this guy's moving?

01:24:38He's the real thing.

01:24:39Bull Buchanan and Bossman.

01:24:41The tag from his buddy.

01:24:43And Big Bossman.

01:24:45Tossed him for Ooc outside the ring.

01:24:49And Bull Buchanan with the axe handle across the back of the head.

01:24:53Oh, man.

01:24:56And the game helping out outside the ring.

01:24:59Tossing Farouk into those steel steps.

01:25:03And Farouk tossed back into the ring.

01:25:06And referee Earl Hebner on probation.

01:25:09Forcing the game back out of the ring.

01:25:11You got to realize, though, that the game is at least the brains of this whole outfit.

01:25:15That he is.

01:25:16Food to the face by Bossman.

01:25:18Cover on Farouk.

01:25:19Could be it.

01:25:20Two.

01:25:20And Farouk gets the shoulder up.

01:25:21That big food will scramble your brains.

01:25:24Farouk needs to make a tag.

01:25:25Bossman, Bull Buchanan, Triple H doing a great job isolating Farouk.

01:25:30Here's the game.

01:25:32He's the WWF champion.

01:25:34And it took a lot of guts, King, for Triple H to make this match.

01:25:38Well, he's got a lot of guts.

01:25:39He's as good as they come.

01:25:40He's on top of the world.

01:25:42Knowing he was stepping into the fire.

01:25:43And there's a shot to Bradshaw.

01:25:45Uh-oh.

01:25:45That draws the rock into the ring.

01:25:47I don't think it was the shot to Bradshaw that threw the rock in the ring.

01:25:51It was a great move by Triple H.

01:25:54Drawing the referee away and allowing the triple team on Farouk.

01:25:58Yep.

01:25:58Farouk is isolated now.

01:26:00That's not good for Farouk.

01:26:02Or for Rocksteen.

01:26:05The game, Triple H.

01:26:08King, do you think Earl Hebner, the senior officials, being intimidated at all in this matchup?

01:26:13Well, I would think that if Earl Hebner had any sin, it was that debatable.

01:26:18Hey, look at this.

01:26:19Earl Hebner now.

01:26:20He should be intimidated, but it doesn't look like he is me.

01:26:23Earl Hebner forcing the game.

01:26:25Oh, here he goes.

01:26:25On the rock.

01:26:26He's going to be fired.

01:26:28Shane McMahon warned Earl Hebner.

01:26:30And look at him.

01:26:31The senior official knocking Shane off the airframe.

01:26:34Is he crazy?

01:26:35Is he insane?

01:26:36Earl Hebner's lost it.

01:26:37He's not insane.

01:26:38He's sticking up to the damn rules, King.

01:26:40What do you mean?

01:26:41He's crazy.

01:26:41He's got character.

01:26:42He's taking control.

01:26:44Hell with the rules.

01:26:45He's got to keep a job.

01:26:46And now Farouk's battling back.

01:26:48Earl's got a fat man to feed.

01:26:50And Triple H off the ropes.

01:26:52Look at him.

01:26:52Oh, Farouk telegraphed it.

01:26:54Knee to the face.

01:26:55Oh, no.

01:26:56Sitting up Farouk.

01:26:57Could be pedigree time.

01:26:58Could be it.

01:26:59And the rock limit goes wide.

01:27:01The rock made sure the pedigree didn't happen.

01:27:05Is Shane okay?

01:27:06Uh-oh, he's hot.

01:27:07Is Shane okay?

01:27:08Look at his arm.

01:27:09Could be dislocated elbow.

01:27:11Call a paramedic.

01:27:13Lost band full Buchanan.

01:27:14Need a tag.

01:27:15Rock and Bradshaw on it as well.

01:27:18Can you imagine what Vince McMahon is thinking watching this at home?

01:27:22We need a specialist out here from Shane Delphi.

01:27:24Lord makes the tag.

01:27:25Here comes the rock.

01:27:26The rock gets Triple H.

01:27:28The rock gets Triple H.

01:27:30And this has just picked up, Michael.

01:27:32Right hands by the People's Champion.

01:27:34Triple H is going to pay.

01:27:35Oh, my gosh.

01:27:37Rock.

01:27:38Oh.

01:27:40For every drop of blood, the rock's filled, King.

01:27:43He wants two from Triple H.

01:27:45I didn't see that.

01:27:45Oh, quick for the rock bottom.

01:27:47Oh, Buchanan.

01:27:47And now all the six men in the ring.

01:27:49Oh, my gosh.

01:27:50I was afraid of this.

01:27:51This thing has gotten out of control.

01:27:53Right, Sean Farouk.

01:27:53Now can toss Man Out.

01:27:55Rock and Triple H are down.

01:27:59And look at the Acolytes.

01:28:00What the hell are they doing?

01:28:03Oh, game.

01:28:04Uh-oh.

01:28:04Look out.

01:28:05It could be game over.

01:28:06The game is cornered.

01:28:08You have to reel back for the game right now.

01:28:11The game is cornered like a rat, King.

01:28:13The rat that he is.

01:28:15And he's got DX.

01:28:16The Calvary's here.

01:28:17Oh, hell's broken loose.

01:28:19Rock and Triple H's going out of the corner.

01:28:22The Acolytes have just sent the exterior.

01:28:25Oh, no.

01:28:27The rock is laying the smack down on the game.

01:28:29Oh, no.

01:28:30You're right.

01:28:31Some serious smack is being laid down.

01:28:33Triple H is in all kinds of trouble.

01:28:34The Acolytes, DX boss, man, if you can, and button up the ramp.

01:28:38Acolytes, get back here, DX.

01:28:40This is the one.

01:28:41See, Triple H and the rock.

01:28:43One on one.

01:28:44That's a game by himself.

01:28:46This is what the rock wanted.

01:28:48This is what it's all about.

01:28:50Oh.

01:28:51Spinebuster.

01:28:52Spinebuster.

01:28:53Look at Shane from behind.

01:28:56Oh, no.

01:28:57Look out.

01:28:58Look out.

01:28:59Right, Shane.

01:29:00It's over to Shane.

01:29:01Look out, King.

01:29:02The rock's got Shane.

01:29:04Where are you going?

01:29:04Shane, that's Shane.

01:29:08Wait a minute, rock out.

01:29:09Rock, rock with a wind in him.

01:29:11You can't go.

01:29:12Rock will kill him.

01:29:13Oh, my.

01:29:14I'm going to face to Shane.
